Please help me, Thank you=) This question is from textbook algebra
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You need to put the equation in the correct format 1st!!! The right hand side of the quadratic equation MUST be zero.------>> x^2-6x=16 --->> x^2-6x-16=0 ---->> (x-8)(x+2)=0 ---->> x=8, x= -2 By plugging in both values, one at a time, in your original equation for x, you will see that the two numbers work out. I hope this helps you out. Any more question or problems, e mail me!! Your math friend, Terry :) cats7051@yahoo.com
