The equation $x^2+14x=33$ has two solutions. The positive solution has the form $\sqrt{a}-b$ for positive natural numbers $a$ and $b$. What is $a+b$?

answer: 15

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is c. 23/3

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
