Question

Solve for x. Enter the solution from least to greatest.

Answer 1

Answer:

lesser $x=-8-\sqrt{2}=-9.41$

greater $x=-8+\sqrt{2}=-6.59$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(x+8)^2-2=0\\(x+8)^2=2\\x+8=\pm\sqrt{2}\\x=-8\pm\sqrt{2}$

This means that

lesser $x=-8-\sqrt{2}=-9.41$

greater $x=-8+\sqrt{2}=-6.59$
