What value should be added to both sides for completing the square in this equation?
1 answer:
Hey there!
x^2 + 4x = 12
SUBTRACT 12 to BOTH SIDES
x^2 + 4x - 12 = 12 - 12
SIMPLIFY IT
x^2 + 4x - 12 = 0
FACTOR the LEFT SIDE of your EQUATION
(x - 2)(x + 6) = 0
• EQUATION #1: x - 2 = 0
OR
• EQUATION #2: x + 6 = 0
SIMPLIFY IT
• EQUATION #1 answer: x = 2
OR
• EQUATION #2 answer: x = -6
OVERALL ANSWER: x = 2 or x = -6
YOUR ANSWER: x = 2 (Option A.)
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

|x – 10| – 4 = 2x
x - 10 - 4 = 2x
x - 14 = 2x
x - 2x = 14
-x = 14
x = -14
Ok so find greatert common factor
