Question

Solve using the zero factor property:
g^2 + 18g + 70 = -11

I got it down to:
g^2 + 18g + 59 = 0
- but I can't factor that out.

Answer 1

you need to add 11 to both sides. you have subtracted 11 instead.

Answer 2

Aaaand I feel like an idiot.
So, g^2 + 18g + 81 = 0
Let me try to work this out...

Answer 3

we ALL make MISKTAKES :)
Thats what makes us human.

Answer 4

I believe it's this...:
g^2 + 18g + 81 = 0
(g + 9)(g + 9) = 0
g = -9

Right?

Answer 5

correct - well done!

Answer 6

Thanks! I would've probably never noticed. :D
