First figure out what it mean
To solve using completing square method we proceed as follows:
x^2-10x+8=0
x^2-10x=-8
but
c=(b/2)^2
c=(10/2)^2=25
thus we can add this in our expression to get
x^2-10x+25=8+25
factorizing the LHS we get:
(x-5)(x-5)=33
(x-5)^2=33
getting the square roots of both sides we have:
x-5=+/-√33
x=5+/-√33
Answer:
-5.1x + 12.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms: first, combine the x terms, obtaining -5.1x.
Next, combine the constants, obtaining 12.3.
The simplified expression is -5.1x + 12.3
