X^2 - 4 x = -2
Add 4 to both sides:
x^2 - 4 x + 4 = 2
Write the left-hand side as a square:
(x - 2)^2 = 2
Take the square root of both sides:
x - 2 = sqrt(2) or x - 2 = -sqrt(2)
Add 2 to both sides:
x = 2 + sqrt(2) or x - 2 = -sqrt(2)
Add 2 to both sides:
Answer:  x = 2 + sqrt(2) or x = 2 - sqrt(2)

Answer:

4. -4

5. -2

6. -3

Step-by-step explanation:

4. -12 = 5r + 8

Subtract 8 from both sides;

-20 = 5r

Divide both sides by 5;

-4 = r OR r = -4

5. -6p - 3 = 9

Add 3 to both sides;

-6p = 12

Divide both sides by -6

p = -2

6. -14 = 4x - 2

Add 2 to both sides;

-12 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4;

-3 = x OR x = -3
