Answer:
x would equal -11 or 13
Step-by-step Explanation:
x(x - 2) - 143 = 0
x^2 - 2x - 143 = 0
-2x + x^2 = 143
-143 + (-2x) + x^2 = 0
(x - 13)(x + 11)
x - 13 = 0
Add 13 to both sides
x = 13
x + 11 = 0
Subtract 11 from both sides
x = -11
Answer:
C srry if im wrong
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer would be x^4 -16
Explanation: use the FOIL method.
(x^2 +4)(x^2 -4)= x^4 +4x -4x -16. 4x and -4x cancel each other out. You are left with x^4 -16.

Simplifying
7x + -11 = 5(x + -2) + 2x + -1
Reorder the terms:
-11 + 7x = 5(x + -2) + 2x + -1
Reorder the terms:
-11 + 7x = 5(-2 + x) + 2x + -1
-11 + 7x = (-2 * 5 + x * 5) + 2x + -1
-11 + 7x = (-10 + 5x) + 2x + -1
Reorder the terms:
-11 + 7x = -10 + -1 + 5x + 2x
Combine like terms: -10 + -1 = -11
-11 + 7x = -11 + 5x + 2x
Combine like terms: 5x + 2x = 7x
-11 + 7x = -11 + 7x
Add '11' to each side of the equation.
-11 + 11 + 7x = -11 + 11 + 7x
Combine like terms: -11 + 11 = 0
0 + 7x = -11 + 11 + 7x
7x = -11 + 11 + 7x
Combine like terms: -11 + 11 = 0
7x = 0 + 7x
7x = 7x
Add '-7x' to each side of the equation.
7x + -7x = 7x + -7x
Combine like terms: 7x + -7x = 0
0 = 7x + -7x
Combine like terms: 7x + -7x = 0
0 = 0
Solving
0 = 0
