Step-by-step explanation:
2x(squared)+9x+9=—1
2x(squared)+9x+9+1=0
2x(squared)+9x+10=0
multiply the coefficient of x and 10=2x10=20
2x(squared)+9x+10=0
look for two numbers that when added gives 9and when multiplied gives 20
2x(squared)+5x+4x+10=0
(2x(squared)+5x)+(4x+10)=0
find the number and letters that are common in the equations
x(2x+5)+2(2x+5)=0
(x+2) (2x+5)=0
x+2=0
collect like terms
x=0-2
x=-2
2x+5=0
collect like terms
2x=0-5
2x=-5
divide both sides by 2
2x/2=-5/2
x=-5/2
so x=-2 and -5/2
