Question

hep, hep.
okay, i've got my equation to be
-1=xsquared+5x
I'm solving for x
what do i do next?

Answer 1

add 1 to both sides

Answer 2

alright. then what?

Answer 3

x^2+5x+1=0
is it factorable? if not, use the quadratic formula

Answer 4

............ahhhhh wait i still dont get it.

Answer 5

a=1, b=5,c=1
x=[-5@sqrt(5^2-4(1)(1))]/[2(1)] when @ means plus or minus

Answer 6

x=[-5@sqrt(25-4)]/2=[-5@sqrt(21)]/2
x=[-5+sqrt(21)]/2 or x=[-5-sqrt(21)]/2
