Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) x² - 8x + 5 = 0
2) No subtract 5 from both sides
x² - 8x + 5 - 5 = 0 - 5
x² - 8x = -5
3) Now find (8/2) = 4. Add 4² = 16 to both sides
x² - 8x + 16 = -5 + 16
x² - 8x + 16 = 11
4) (x - 4)² = 11
5) Take square root both sides
x - 4 = ±√11
x = 4 ±√11
3(-x - 4) = 3x + 5(x + 2)
x=-2
Answer is (D) because 2/6 = 0.33333333333333333333………..
None of the answers are correct. The correct answer would be x=(P-25)/2
