solve x^2+6x=10

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

use completing the square \[\Large x^2 + 6x + (\frac{6}{2})^2 = 10 + (\frac{6}{2})^2\]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

that any better?

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

\[x^2+6x-10=0\] you can use the quadratic formula \[x=\frac{-(b)\pm\sqrt{(b)^{2}-4(a)(c)}}{2(a)} \]

sam (.sam.):

\[\begin{array}{l} x^2+6 x=10 \\ \text{Add }9 \text{ to both sides,} \\ x^2+6 x+9=19 \\ \text{Factor the left hand side} \\ (x+3)^2=19 \\ \text{take the square root of both sides} \\ \text{eliminate the absolute value} \\ x+3=-\sqrt{19}\text{ or }x+3=\sqrt{19} \\ \text{subtract }3\text{ from both sides} \\ x=-3-\sqrt{19}\text{ or }x+3=\sqrt{19} \\ \text{Subtract }3\text{ from both sides} \\ x=-3-\sqrt{19}\text{ or }x=-3+\sqrt{19} \\\end{array}\]

i don't get it

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

The quadratic formula seems easier. Just \(a=1\), \(b=6\), \(c=-10\) then use the fomula..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i do now!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

@Mimi_x3 and his formulas :p

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

"his" ? lol

sam (.sam.):

lol @Mimi_x3

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

laughing at me that someone assumes that im a guy? :P
