5x^2=-30x-65
do this the same as the last question move everything to LHS: 5x^2 -30x +65
sorry 5x^2 +30x +65 = 0
then use the formula from the last question
you could simplify it a bit by dividing everything by 5
x^2 + 6x + 13 = 0
but you still have to put the five at the front @bahrom7893 like this 5(x^2 + 6x +13)=0
what's 0*5?
0
but technically that is still incorrect,
0*5=0 is incorrect?
Technically it's correct lol, I'm dividing everything by 5: (5x^2 +30x +65)/5 = 0/5
you could also divide both sides by (5x^2 + 30x +65) therefore 1=0
You're just pulling the 5 out. Once you pull it out you can still divide everything by 5 and get the same thing
you can't divide by a variable
mathematically you can its the same as dividing everything by five
that's why that statement doesn't hold. What if 5x^2 + 30x equaled to -65, you'd get 0 in the denominator.
reading out of the textbook, you have to pull the five out and leav e it there
anyway, we're wasting alliekat06's time. Allie, just solve x^2 + 6x + 13 = 0
yea ok @bahrom7893 your probs right im only a junior high school student anyway
You two are not wasting my time, it's your time that I'm taking away. I really appreciate both of your help. Wish I got this like you two. Ok let me try to solve it
Ok I think I got it, -6 +-4i
?????
slow down what two numbers add to 6 and multiply to 13? no whole numbers so use the quadratic formula
I just got 3,3, wait but still didn't give me a solution. I worked out the problem wrong. Sorry
