x^2-158x-159=0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(x-159)(x+1) = 0 x=159, -1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes well done..

yes sorry lool
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thank you so much! i think i'll go have lunch then come back in 15mins

See:
\[x ^{2}-32x+154=0 \rightarrow (x+7)(x+22)=0 x=-7,-22\]
Here you factorization is also wrong..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
When you multiply you will not negative of 32 as all are positive..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I am just making you clear this point..
And this is also not the answer..

i noticed that 7+22 is not -32.. so is the whole work wrong?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i'll rewrite and post an attachment later.. lunch first :) thank so much btw
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ha ha ha..
You are now one step ahead of me..
That is really great,,'
A true leaner you are..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@waterineyes whole process :)
\[\sqrt{3x+7} +\sqrt{2x+6} =4 \rightarrow \sqrt{3x+7}=4-\sqrt{2x+6}\]
square both sides: \[3x+7=16-8\sqrt{2x+6}+2x+6 \rightarrow 3x-2x+7-6-16= -8\sqrt{2x+6}\]
square again: \[(x-15)^{2} = (-8\sqrt{2x+6})^{2} \rightarrow x ^{2}-30x+225= 64(2x+6)\]
solve:\[x ^{2}-158x-159=0 ----> (x-159)(x+1)=0 ---> x=159,-1\]
however when we insert the roots into the equation x=-1 only
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yep..
You are right..
\(x = -1\) is the only solution..
