Answer 1

Answer:

h = 16  ||    solution after squaring: $x = -0.683$ or $x = -7.32$

steps by fieranswererft:

Given: $x^2+8x+5=0$

Take half of the x term and square it

• $[8*\frac{1}{2} ]^2=16$

• $x^2+8x+16=- 5+16$

• $(x+4)^2=-5+16$

• $(x+4)^2=11$

• $x+4 = \pm \sqrt{11}$

• $x = \pm \sqrt{11}-4$

• $x = -0.683$ or $x = -7.32$
