Solve each of the following: a) x² + 4x – 77 = 0
b) x(x + 4) = -2(3x + 8)
Please show your work

a.) x=7 or x=-11

b.) x=−2 or x=−8

Step-by-step explanation:

a)  x² + 4x – 77 = 0

Step 1: Factor left side of equation.

(x−7)(x+11)=0

Step 2: Set factors equal to 0.

x−7=0 or x+11=0

x=7 or x=−11

b.) x(x + 4) = -2(3x + 8)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

x^2+4x=−6x−16

Step 2: Subtract -6x-16 from both sides.

x^2+4x−(−6x−16)=−6x−16−(−6x−16)

x^2+10x+16=0

Step 3: Factor left side of equation.

(x+2)(x+8)=0

Step 4: Set factors equal to 0.

x+2=0 or x+8=0

x=−2 or x=−8

a) {-11, 7}.

b) {-8, -2}

Step-by-step explanation:

a) x^2 + 4x - 77 = 0

To factor this we need 2 numbers whose product is -77 and sum is + 4.

They are + 11 and - 7, so:

( x + 11)(x - 7) = 0

x + 11 = 0 or x - 7 = 0

x = -11,  7.

b) x(x + 4) = -2(3x + 8)

x^2 + 4x = -6x - 16

x^2 + 4x + 6x + 16 = 0

x^2 + 10x + 16 = 0

(x + 2)(x + 8) = 0

x = -8, -2.
