Your'e right, c it the best answer.
First to figure out the problem you need to distribute the 3 and the 4. You get, 3x-3-8=4+4x+5. Now you need to combine the coefficients. After doing this you will have 3x-11=9+4x. Now to get x by itself you need to subtract 3x from both sides. You will have -11=9+x. Then you subtract 9 from both sides and you end up with x=-20
3(x-1)-8=4(1+x)+5
3x-3-8= 4+4x+5
3x-11=9+4x
-3x -3x
-11=9+x
-9 -9
-20=x
Answer:
the roots are n = 1 + √15 and n = 1 - √15
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case I would immediately rewrite n² - 2n - 5 = 10 as
n² - 2n = 10 + 5 = 15.
To complete the square: Identify the coefficient of n (it is -2). Halve that, obtaining -1, square this result, and then add the outcome (1) to and subtract the outcome (1) to n² - 2n:
n² - 2n <em>+ 1 - 1 </em> = 15
Next, rewrite n² - 2n + 1 as the square of a binomial:
(n - 1)² = 15
Finally, take the square root of both sides:
n - 1 = ±√15
so that the roots are n = 1 + √15 and n = 1 - √15
Answer:
The answer to the equation is 48.
