Answer:

x=−7

Solving for X:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of your equation.

5x−22=7x−8

Step 2: Subtract 7x from both sides.

5x−22−7x=7x−8−7x

−2x−22=−8

Step 3: Add 22 to both sides.

−2x−22+22=−8+22

−2x=14

Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.

-2x/-2 = 14/-2

^ x = -7

THEREFORE:

x is −7

Use the method of completing the square to transform the quadratic equation into the equation form (x + p)2 = q. 3 + x - 3x2 = 9

Triss [41]

To transform the quadratic equation into the equation form (x + p)2 = q we shall proceed as follows:
3+x-3x^2=9
putting like terms together we have:
-3x^2+x=6
dividing through by -3 we get:
x^2-x/3=-2
but
c=(b/2a)^2
c=(-1/6)^2=1/36
thus the expression will be:
x^2-x/3+1/36=-2+1/36
1/36(6x-1)²=-71/36

the answer is:
1/36(6x-1)²=-71/36
