-x3+5x2-11x+55=0

OpenStudy (emmamink):

Lets add common terms together to simplify.

OpenStudy (emmamink):

-14x + 5x^2 + 55 = 0.

OpenStudy (emmamink):

was 5x2 supposed to mean that it was an exponent

OpenStudy (emmamink):

If it is then you need to take away 55 to isolate the x on one side

OpenStudy (emmamink):

-14x + 5x^2 = -55. Now, we got to find a value for x that will fit both. Your not even here, are you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it really -x3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can't combine -x3 with -14x, unless it was -3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe 3 is an exponent

OpenStudy (emmamink):

-x times 3 is the same as -3 times x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but what if 3 is an exponent? in the question? where is pettie anyway?
