Solve the quadratic equation below by completing the square. what are the
solutions?
x2 + 10x + 22 = 31

(x+5)^2=34

Solutions: ≈ -10.831, 0.831

Step-by-step explanation:

First you divide the second term by two to complete the square.  The second term divided by two is 5, 5^2 is 25 which means you need a value of 25 to factor.  Add 3 to both sides so you have a value of 25 on the left side.

x^2+10x+25=34  Next, factor the left side.

(x+5)^2=34  

The solutions to this equation are not rational, you could use the quadratic formula to find the exact answer or put the equation into a graphing calculator to find approximate solutions.

600,000,000,000, or 6e14

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12
