Answer:
x = - 7, x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 6x = 7
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(3)x + 9 = 7 + 9
(x + 3)² = 16 ( take the square root of both sides )
x + 3 = ± = ± 4 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
x = - 3 ± 4
x = - 3 - 4 = - 7
x = - 3 + 4 = 1
Solution set = { - 7, 1 }
Given :
▪︎This triangle is an isosceles triangle.
▪︎Measure of one of its legs = 6 inches
▪︎Measure of its equivalent leg inches
▪︎Measure of its base inches
Which means :
Let us check whether or not we have found out the correct value of x by placing 54 in the place of x :
Since the Left Hand Side of the equation is equivalent to the Right Hand Side of the equation, we can conclude that we have found out the correct value of x.
▪︎Therefore, the value of <u>x = 54</u>
