X^2+8x=20 Solve by completing the square

x = 2, x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+4)^2 = 36

(x+4) = 6, -6

x = 2, x = -10

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x

the first one, all those points on the line just make a strait line.
