Question

which of the following are solutions to the quadratic equation given below ?please don't do step-by-steppleaseeeee

Answer 1

The given expression is

$x^2-8x-33=0$

To solve this equation, we have to look for two numbers which product is 33, and which difference is 8. Those numbers are 11 and 3.

$x^2-8x-33=(x-11)(x+3)$

Then, we isolate the variables.

$\begin{gathered} x=11 \\ x=-3 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the right answers are x = 11 and x = -3.
