Question

PLS HELP! solve by completing the square x²+4x=8

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x²+4x=8

rearrange

x² + 4x - 8 = 0

half of 4 is 2

so

x² + 4x + 2² - 2² - 8 = 0

do x² + 4x + 2²

multiplies to give 4 adds to give 4

2+ 2

(x + 2)²

(x + 2)² - 2² - 8

(x + 2)² - 4 - 8

(x + 2)² - 12

(x + 2 + √12) (x + 2 - √12)

√12 = √4 * √3 = 2 √3

(x + 2 + 2√3) (x + 2 - 2√3)
