so distribute 8(3-7x)=24-56x
143=7+24-56x
143=31-56x
minus 31 both sides
112=-56x
divide both sides by -56
-2=x
justify
plug it back
143=7+8(3-7x)
143=7+8(3-7(-2))
143=7+8(3-(-14))
143=7+8(3+14)
143=7+8(17)
143=7+136
143=143
true

Answer:
- (x +1)² = 4
- (D) x = -1 ±2
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by getting the x-terms on one side of the equal sign. We can do that by subtracting x from both sides.
3 = x² +2x
Now, add the square of half the x-coefficient.
3 +1 = x² +2x +1
(x +1)² = 4 . . . . . . . . write as a square in the desired form
__
To solve, take the square root, and add the opposite of the left-side constant.
x +1 = ±2
x = -1 ±2 . . . . . . matches choice (D)
