Answer:

Presumably you're solving for x here?  Without further information we'll assume that.

With that in mind, x is approximately equal to 0.86 and -0.46

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by putting it in the usual ax² + bx + c format.

5x^2- 2x = 2\\5x^2 - 2x - 2 = 0\\

let's solve it.  First we'll multiply both sides by five, making the first term a perfect square:

25x^2 - 10x - 10 = 0\\

Now we'll add 11 to both sides:

25x^2 - 10x + 1 = 11\\

Which makes the left side a perfect square:

(5x - 1)^2 = 11

And now we can solve for x:

(5x - 1)^2 = 11\\\\5x - 1 =  \sqrt{11} \\\\5x = 1 + \sqrt{11}\\\\x = \frac{1 + \sqrt{11}}{5}

Note that there's no apparent way of drawing the ± symbol when editing equations, so take that + sign as actually being ±.

That gives us two answers:

x = \frac{1 + \sqrt{11}}{5}\\\\x \approx \frac{1 + 3.32}5\\\\x \approx \frac{4.32}5\\\\x \approx 0.86             x = \frac{1 - \sqrt{11}}{5}\\\\x \approx \frac{1 - 3.32}5\\\\x \approx \frac{-2.32}5\\\\x \approx -0.46

-17-5(x+3)=3x plz help
katovenus [111]
  1. Start by distributing the -5 into the x and 3
  2. -17-5x-15=3x
  3. add like terms
  4. -5x-32=3x
  5. add 32 to both sides
  6. -5x=3x+32
  7. subtract 3x from both
  8. -8x=32
  9. divide both by -8
  10. x=-4
