The left side can be written as a square. We can take the square root, then subtract 1.
... (x +1)² = 17
... x +1 = ±√17
... x = -1 ±√17
Step 4 is wrong. the answer is 1/8, she changed sign on 2^(-3) to 2^(3) without moving it to numerator
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(x - 2)² + 9 = 0 ( subtract 9 from both sides )
(x - 2)² = - 9 ( take the square root of both sides )
x - 2 = ±
yields no real solutions
There is no real number when multiplied by itself gives - 9
In fact the solutions to
are said to be imaginary, that is ± 3i
where i =

Answer:
its 21 obviously
Step-by-step explanation:
this is because
<em>
</em>
The last terms must multiply to the last terms (confusing)
example
if ax^3+bx^2+c+d=(ex+f)(gx+h)(jx+k) then
d=fhk
so
70 is last term
we got 2 and 5
2*5*?=70
10*?=70
divide by 10
?=7
the missing number is 7
