Question

Solve x2 - 3x = -8.

Answer 1

If you move the -8 from the right side of the equation to the left you will see you have an equation in the quadratic form:
\[ax^2+bx+c=0\]

Answer 2

Where you can use factorization or the quadratic formula to find the values for X

Answer 3

x^2-3x+8=0

Answer 4

idk what to do after that!

Answer 5

You might have to use the quadratic formula or you can use completing the square

Answer 6

If you use the quadratic formula:\[\frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{ 2a }\] Where you would look at your quadratic form and just plug in for the values of a, b , and c.

Answer 7

Using the complete the square method you can add and subtract the same number to both sides so that you can factor to find the values for X
