X2 - 8x + 15 = 0
quadratic formula

The quadratic formula is x=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4(a)(c)))/2a

Using the quadratic formula, we get:

x=(-(-8)+-sqrt((-8)^2-4(15)(1)))/2(1)

x=(8+-sqrt(64-60))/2

x=(8+-sqrt(4))/2

x=(8+-2)/2

x=10/2 and x=6/2

x=5 and x=3

We could do it way faster by completing the square:

x^2-8x+15=0

(x-5)(x-3)=0

x=5 and x=3

Hope both methods make sense! BTW, the +- thing means add or subtract

really really sorry if i'm

-12 -5(x + 4) = 3x

-12 - 5x - 20 = 3x

-12 - 20 - 5x = 3x

-32 - 5x = 3x

    + 5x   + 5x

-32 = 8x

8         8

- 4= x

is there supposed to be a diagram or a graph for this one? ?
