Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
My favorite way to go at this is to look at a graph. It shows the vertex at (-2, -11). Since the leading coefficient is 2, this means the roots are ...

where the 2 in the denominator of the radical is the leading coefficient.

You can also use other clues:
- the axis of symmetry is -b/(2a) = -8/(2(2)) = -2, so answer choices C and D don't work
- the single change in sign in the coefficients (+ + -) tells you there is one positive real root, so answer choice B doesn't work.
The first answer choice is the only one with values symmetrical about -2 and one of them positive.

You may be expected to use the quadratic formula:

Answer:
x=-7
Step-by-step explanation:
7x2-x=7
7x2=14.
14-x=7
When you finished the last step, you will subtract 14 to both sides.
14-x=7
14-14-x=7-14
this will cancel out the 14 on the left.
And will leave you with:
-x=7-14
7-14 is -7.
and this will get you to
-x=-7
To finish this off, you have to turn the negative x/variable, into a positive x/variable.
So, you will divide both sides of the equation by the same term.
-x = -7
into

and it will be -7.
I hope this helps :)
I don't know how to solve this but you can go to desmos.com and it will graph it for you.
Hope this helps make your life easier!
