Answer:
x ≈ 1.32, x ≈ - 5.32
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 4x - 7 = 0 ( add 7 to both sides )
x² + 4x = 7
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(2)x + 4 = 7 + 4
(x + 2)² = 11 ( take the square root of both sides )
x + 2 = ±
( subtract 2 from both sides )
x = - 2 ± 
Thus
x = - 2 -
≈ - 5.32 ( to 2 dec. places )
x = - 2 +
≈ 1.32 ( to 2 dec. places )
Always place it out of 9. For example, 0.333= 3/9, or if simplified, 1/3.
0.5555? this will be 5/9.
for the other way around, make it a repeating decimal, such as 4/9, make that 0.444
If it is 33/99, or even 333/999, the rule should be the same.
