You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1. Solve by factoring:
x² – 10x = -16
or x2 -10x +16=0
or x2 -8x -2x +16=0 [using middle term breaking formula]
or x(x-8) -2(x-8)=0
or (x-2)(x-8)=0
now either x-2=0
x=2
or x-8=0
x=8
2. Solve using the square root property:
5x² – 1 = 74
or 5x2=74+1=75
or x2=75/5=15
or x=+sqrt(15) or -sqrt(15)
x= 3.87 -3.87
3. Solve using the square root property:
(x + 6)² = 121
or sqrt[(x+6)2]=sqrt(121)
or x+6=+11 or -11
or x=5 or -17
4. Solve by completing the square:
x² + 10x + 13 = 0
or x2 +10x +25 -12=0
or (x+5)2=12
or x+5 =+sqrt(12) or -sqrt(12)
or x=-5+sqrt(12) or -5-sqrt(12)
or x=-5+3.464 or -5-3.464
or x =-1.535 or -8.464
5. Solve using the quadratic formula:
x² – 2x = 5x – 2
or x2-2x -5x+2=0
or x2 -7x +2=0[using the formula
here a=1 b=-7 c=2
x=6.7 or 3
6. Solve using the quadratic formula:
x ²– 3x – 3 = -5
or x2 -3x +2=0
[using the formula
here a=1 b=-3 c=2
x=2 or 1
