Which of the following equations is used in this process?

alones (alones):

Solve \[x^2+9x+7=0\] by completing the sqaure.

OpenStudy (tt0860):

there is 2 solutions

OpenStudy (tt0860):

x =(9-√53)/-2=-0.860 x =(9+√53)/-2=-8.140

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

You would first divide 9x by 2 to get 4.5 and then square 4.5 so x^2 +9x + 20.25 = 13.25

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

What are the answer choices?

OpenStudy (tt0860):

was i right @sweetburger

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

No clue didnt sit through and bother with the quadratic cus the question is asking for an equation not a solution set for x values

alones (alones):

\[4x^2+36x+81=53\] \[4x^2+28x+49=58\] \[4x^2+9x+81=72\]

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

Ok so the answer needs to be in whole numbers so we multiply the entire equation above by 4 like this 4*(x^2 +9x + 20.25 = 13.25) = 4x^2 +36x +81 =53

Oooh way to go, thanks sweet<3
