what is the root of[9x-8=x^{2}
positive 8 and 1
You subtract the 9x and add the 8 to the other side withx^2
then, you factor that to get (x-1) and (x-8)
after that, set them to equal zero like so: x-1= 0 and x-8= 0
what is the roots for these 3problems x^{2}-7x-4=10 x^{2}-20x+99=0 x^{2}=x-72=0
for the first one add 10 to the opposite side.
you notice that these do not have any possible multiples to equal to 14
so what you do is, take the equation : b+ or - the square root of b^2 -4(a)(c)
that will give you -7+or- the square root of -7^2-4(1)(14)
that will be -7+or- the square root of 7
the final answer for that one is -7+or- the square root of 7 over 2. I forgot to tell you that the equation I posted ealier:b+ or - the square root of b^2 -4(a)(c) - is divided by two. You use this equation when the mulitples of the third term in a problem cannot give you the middle term when added or subtracted
