Answer:
1.27, -6.27 to the nearest hundredth,
or if you require it in exact form,
-2.5 + √14.25, -2.5 - √14.25.
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 = -5x + 8
x^2 + 5x = 8
Competing the square:
(x + 2.5)^2 - 6.25 = 8
(x + 2.5) = 14.25
x + 2.5 = +/-√14.25
x = -2.5 + √14.25, -2.5 - √14.25
x = -2.5 + 3.77, -2.5 - 3.77
= 1.27, -6.27.
