Softa [21]3 years ago

To solve for a variable, you need to get it (x) by itself.

2x² - 4x + 5 = 6   Subtract 6 from both sides
2x² - 4x - 1 = 0   Plug this into the Quadratic Formula

a = 2 , b = -4 , c = -1
x = \frac{-b \pm  \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}   Plug in your values
x = \frac{-(-4) \pm \sqrt{(-4)^2 - 4(2)(-1)} }{2(2)}   Simplify
x = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{16 + 8} }{4}   Simplify
x = \frac{4 \pm 2\sqrt{6} }{4}   Simplify by removing a 2 from every term
x = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{6} }{2}   Simplify by taking the fraction apart
x = \frac{2}{2}  \pm  \frac{ \sqrt{6} }{2}   Change \frac{2}{2} to 1
x = 1 \pm  \frac{ \sqrt{6} }{2}   Simplify \frac{ \sqrt{6} }{2} to \sqrt{ \frac{3}{2} }
x = 1 \pm \sqrt{ \frac{3}{2} }

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Formula: a² + 2ab + b² = (a + b)²

The square root of 1/9x² = 1/3x so a = 1/3x and b = 1/5y.

The answer is (1/3x + 1/5y)².
