The solutions would be +0.37 and -0.37.
When completing the square, we take 1/2 of the value of b (in this case 5). 5/2=2.5. We then square this number: 2.5²=6.25. We add this value to both sides of the equation:
x²+5x+6.25 = 2+6.25
(x+2.5)² = 8.25
Take the square root of both sides:
√(x+2.5)² = √8.25
x + 2.5 = 2.87
Subtract 2.5 from both sides:"
x+2.5-2.5 = 2.87-2.5
x = 0.37
We have to take the positive and negative values for solutions, however, since a square root has both positive and negative answers.
Subtract x on both sides the result you divide it by 5

Answer:
40 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a proportion where x is the number of girls in band class:
= 
Cross multiply and solve for x:
3x = 120
x = 40
So, there were 40 girls in band class.
This is the concept of algebra, given that ab^4=12 and a^5b^5=7776, the value if a will be found as follows:
ab^4=12
a=12/b^4
also;
a^5=7776/b^5
thus;
a=(7776/b^5)^(1/5)
a=6/b
thus the value of a will be:
6/b=12/b^4
dividing both sides by b we get:
6=12/b^3
multiplying both sides by b^3 we get
6b^3=12
b^3=2
hence;
b=2^(1/3)
