That blank is a plus sign
ok so rememmber you can do anythiing to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
-0.3x+2=0.4x-0.1
add 0.3x to both sides
2=0.7x-0.1
add 0.1 to both sides
2.1=0.7x
times 7 both sides
21=7x
divide both sides by 7
3=x

Answer:
- 4
- -2
- 4
- 2
- -2±√2
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to fill the first blank, we need to look at the second line to see what the coefficient of x is.
1. x² +<u> </u><u>4 </u>x +2 = 0
The constant is subtracted from both sides to get the second line.
2. x² +4x = <u> -2 </u>
The value that is added on the third line is the square of half the x-coefficient: (4/2)² = 4
3. x² +4x +<u> 4 </u> = -2 +4
On the fourth line, the left side is written as a square, and the right side is simplified. The square root is taken of both sides.
4. √(x +2)² = ±√<u> 2 </u>
Finally, 2 is subtracted from both sides to find the values of x.
5. x = <u> -2 ±√2 </u>
