The only solution to x² + bx + c = 0
is x = 5

work out the values of b and c​

Answers:

b = -10

c = 25

Explanation:

If x = 5 is the only solution then (x-5) is the only factor. Turns out we have repeated solutions and repeated factors. Meaning (x-5)(x-5) = (x-5)^2 is what we're after.

Expand that out to get

(x-5)^2

x^2 - 5x - 5x + 25

x^2 - 10x + 25

Then compare this to x^2 + bx + c to find

b = -10

c = 25

If you were to solve x^2-10x+25 = 0, you'll find that x = 5 is the only root.

a the answer hopes this

step-by-step explanation:

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 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.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

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

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
