ANSWER: x > -6
1. subtract 12 from each side
2. divide by -3 which will make the sign flip
Answer:
x = -3+√5, -3-√5 (exact roots)
or x = -0.76, -5.24 to the nearest hundredth.
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 6x = - 4
Completing the square:
(x + 3)^2 - 9 = -4
(x + 3)^2 = 5
x + 3 = +/-√5
x = - 3 + √5, - 3 - √5
