Question

What are the steps to solve x^2+19x=-90

Answer 1

we have the equation

$x^2+19x=-90$

step 1

Rewrite in standard form

$x^2+19x+90=0$

step 2

we have

a=1

b=19

c=90

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-19\pm\sqrt{19^2-4(1)(90)}}{2(1)}$$x=\frac{-19\pm1}{2}$

The values of x are

x=-9 and x=-10
