Question

(2x+5)^2-(2x+5)-6=0

Answer 1

notice is just a quadratic in disguise

Answer 2

if the question was x^2 - x - 6 = 0
what would you get?

Answer 3

i understand how to do it, but i want to see if i get the right answer

Answer 4

so what answer did you get?

Answer 5

so far: 4x^2+18x+24

Answer 6

hmm.. I don't see how you got that nor how it factors out or works... :/
here, could you first find x when: x^2 - x - 6 = 0

Answer 7

x= -2 and 3

Answer 8

yes, and in that case I had substitute (2x+5) for x temporarily
so if x = 2x + 5 so solve for x when
2x + 5 = -2 and 2x + 5 = 3

Answer 9

x=\[\frac{ -7 }{ 5 }\] and -1

Answer 10

i meant over 2

Answer 11

not 5

Answer 12

yes :) so those are your answers for (2x+5)^2-(2x+5)-6=0

Answer 13

ohhhh, i see what you did there
