Explain pls
OpenStudy (instagrammodel):
You must explain you're answer. (:
OpenStudy (welshfella):
x^2 + 6x = 5
divide coefficient of x by 2
(x +3)^2 - 9 = 5
simplify a little more and you have it

( x+3)^2 = 14
OpenStudy (shelbywyatt):
how
OpenStudy (g3n3sis08):
Do you know about completing square?
OpenStudy (welshfella):
you use the identity
x^2 + ax = (x + (a/2)^2 - a^2/2^2
OpenStudy (welshfella):
in this case we illustrate it as follows
x^2 + 6x = (x +3)^2 - 9 = x^2 + 6x + 9 - 9 = x^2 + 6x

B is the correct answer
\[x^{2}+6x=5\]
\[(x+\frac{ 6 }{ 2 })^{2} - (\frac{ 6 }{ 2 })^{2}=5\]
\[(x+3)^{2} = 14\]
and these are the steps
OpenStudy (g3n3sis08):
And that is completing square :)
OpenStudy (welshfella):
divide the coefficient of x by 2 then subtract the square of this result

Thanks!
