x^2=6x+16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Subtract 6x + 16 on both the sides first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^2 - 6x - 16 = 0\] Now can you factorize it ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then you should reply fast..

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

give the guy a break..it's hard to type "no" after all...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure sorry for that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you make factors of 16 that will add to -6 and product to 16 ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Check for 8 and 2.. But you have to rearrange them.. the product should be -16 and addition should be -6 Can you tell out of 8 and 2 which one will be negative and which one will be positive ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plz tell

OpenStudy (anonymous):

See: (-8)*2 = -16 -8 + 2 = -6 So factors will be : -8 and 2..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have given you the factor so just try to plug them and try to factorize the equation... You will surely get that.. Try it once..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer maam

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@lgbasallote yes you are right.. You can call me Sir instead of Mam @shivraj And I think I am not here to provide you here answers.. I have done 60% for you.. Now do 40% yourself and I am sure you will get that if you will try...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No need to say ok.. Just try..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is okay... Happy Journey..
