Solve. x2 - 4x = 14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the problem \[x^{2}-4x=14\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes! by using the quadratic formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can solve it by completing the square

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do I do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x ^{2}-4x+?=14+?\] \[(x-2)^2=18\] \[\sqrt{(x-2)^2}=\pm \sqrt{18}\] \[x-2=\pm \sqrt{18}\] \[x=2\pm \sqrt{18}\] The answer would be: \[2\pm3\sqrt{2}\]
