Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

you would add -3x on both sides, then that cancels out, and then the equation would be 2=5x-8. Then you would add 8 to both sides then it would be 10=5x. Then you would divide 5 by both sides, then it will be x=2.

Use the Quadratic Formula to solve x2 + 20x + 98 = 0

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

$ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\\\\if\ \Delta \ \textless \ 0\ then\ no\ solution\\\\if\ \Delta =0\ then\ one\ solution\ x_0=\dfrac{-b}{2a}\\\\if\ \Delta \ \textgreater \ 0\ then\ two\ solutions\ x_1=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\ and\ x_2=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\\-----------------------------$

$x^2+20x+98=0\\a=1;\ b=20;\ c=98\\\\\Delta=20^2-4\cdot1\cdot98=400-392=8 \ \textgreater \ 0\\\sqrt\Delta=\sqrt8=\sqrt{4\cdot2}=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt2=2\sqrt2\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-20-2\sqrt2}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{-20-2\sqrt2}{2}=-10-\sqrt2\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-20+2\sqrt2}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{-20+2\sqrt2}{2}=-10+\sqrt2$
