\[you~~~meant~~~~~~~~ x^2+4x=-15\]

OpenStudy (therealmeeeee):

ummmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No I didn't mean that, what I had typed is what the question was.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

see

the third 1

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Sorry my connection snapped right when I wanted to posted it, \[\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

a=1 b=4 c=15 I added 15 to both sides to set it equal zero. \[x^2+4x\color{red}{+15}=-15\color{red}{+15}\] \[x^2+4x\color{red}{+15}=0\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Can you do your questions using quadratic formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got it thank you

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[\huge\color{blue}{x=\frac{±\sqrt {4^2-4(1)(15)}}{2(1)}}\ \]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Anytime!

OpenStudy (amigatour):

Plug in a=1, b=4, c=15 remember that \[\sqrt{-1}=i\]

OpenStudy (amigatour):

You forgot your 4
