Answer:

x = 1 or x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

ax^{2} + bx + c = 0

x = \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a\\}

as x^{2} + 2x - 1 = 2 ⇔  x^{2} + 2x - 3 = 0, its solution is

x = \frac{-2±\sqrt{2^{2}-4 *1*(-3)} }{2*1}

=  \frac{-2±\sqrt{4+12} }{2} =  \frac{-2±\sqrt{16} }{2} =  \frac{-2±\ 4 }{2}

therefore, x = 1 or x = -3

hope this helps! :D

have a miraculous day, and brainliest is immensely appreciated!! <3

Zoe found a sweatshirt that she wanted at jcpenny when she went shopping the other day. it was 30% off. what was the original co
oksian1 [2.3K]

The sale price was 30% off the original price, which means it was on sale for 70% of the original cost ( 100% - 30% = 70%)

To find the original cost, divide the sale price by the percent of the original cost:

21 / 0.70 = 30


The original price was $30


check:

30 x 0.3 = 9 ( amount of discount)

30 - 9 = 21 ( sale price)

Create a list of steps, in order, that will solve the following equation.<br> (x + 5)2 + 2 = 42.5
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 5)2 + 2 = 42.5

x*2 + 5*2 + 2 = 42.5

  2x + 10 + 2 = 42.5

        2x + 12 = 42.5

               2x = 42.5 - 12

               2x = 30.5

                 x = 30.5/2

x = 15.25
