y^2+2y=8

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

potato . . . . . what are you asking?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did you learn how to solve quadratic equations? Because it is a simple case of a quadratic equation. You have to apply the "quadratic formula" yo solve.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ditto ditto

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says to factor

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

subtract 8 from both sides first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y^2+2y=8 -8 -8 8-y^2+2y (-4-y) (2-y) -8+4y-2y+y^2 -8+2y-y^2 original answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does this look correct?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

lol stop with (-4 0 y)(2-y) that's the factored form already

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

(-4 - y)(2-y)*

OpenStudy (callisto):

y^2+2y=8 y^2 + 2y -8 =0 (y+4)(y-2)=0 (y+4)=0 or (y-2)=0 Solve these 2 equation, can you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats where im stuck..i was told to solve for y

OpenStudy (callisto):

Basic equation.... (y+4)=0 or (y-2)=0 y+4-4 = 0-4 or y-2+2 =0+2 What do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks
