Question

What are the solutions to the expression x^2-8x=24

Answer 1

Answer: x= 2(2+sqrt(10)) , x=2(2-sqrt(10)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-8x=24 <- subtract 24 from both sides

x^2-8x-24 <- take quadratic formulat (-2+/- Sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)/2a

-(-8) +/- sqrt((-8)^2 - 4(1*-24) all over (2*1) <- simplify

(-(-8) +/- 4sqrt(10) )/2 <- sepereate

(-(-8) +/4sqrt(10) )/2 ,  (-(-8) - 4sqrt(10) )/2 <- simplify

2(2+sqrt(10)) , 2(2-sqrt(10) =x
