Answer:
180
Step-by-step explanation:
x is equal to 2.5 and -4.5
-4(x + 1)² - 3 = -51
-4(x² + 2x + 1) - 3 = -51
-4x² - 8x -3 - 3 = -51
-4x² - 8x - 6 = -51
-4x² - 8x = -45
-4(x^2 + 2x) = -45
-4(x^2 + 2x + 1) = -49
-4(x + 1)² = -49
(x + 1)² = 49/4
x + 1 = ± √(49/4)
x + 1 = ± 7/2
x = -1 ± 3.5
x = 2.5, -4.5
u is 4 and v is 18
