OpenStudy (g3n3sis08):

B

OpenStudy (lilkg77):

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

OpenStudy (g3n3sis08):

( 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

OpenStudy (phonexhero):

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

OpenStudy (lilkg77):

Thanks!

OpenStudy (lilkg77):

Can you guys help with another

OpenStudy (phonexhero):

the same steps and then take the root for the two sides and let x be on a side alone

OpenStudy (g3n3sis08):

D.. same steps , just find x
