Answer:

Simplifying

x2 + 6x + 13 = 20

Reorder the terms:

13 + 6x + x2 = 20

Solving

13 + 6x + x2 = 20

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:

13 + -20 + 6x + x2 = 20 + -20

Combine like terms: 13 + -20 = -7

-7 + 6x + x2 = 20 + -20

Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0

-7 + 6x + x2 = 0

Factor a trinomial.

(-7 + -1x)(1 + -1x) = 0

Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-7 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying

-7 + -1x = 0

Solving

-7 + -1x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '7' to each side of the equation.

-7 + 7 + -1x = 0 + 7

Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0

0 + -1x = 0 + 7

-1x = 0 + 7

Combine like terms: 0 + 7 = 7

-1x = 7

Divide each side by '-1'.

x = -7

Simplifying

x = -7

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(1 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying

1 + -1x = 0

Solving

1 + -1x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.

1 + -1 + -1x = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0

0 + -1x = 0 + -1

-1x = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1

-1x = -1

Divide each side by '-1'.

x = 1

Simplifying

x = 1

Solution

x = {-7, 1}

hope this helps if not let me know have a blessed day
