x^(2) +5x-3=-4x-3\\x^(2) +5x+4x-3+3=0\\x^(2) +9x=0\\\\x(x+9)=0\\x=0 or x+9=0\\x= -9

I hope this helps.

Answer:

x = 0

or

x = (-9)

Explanation:


{x}^(2) + 5x - 3 = - 4x - 3

transfer like terms to the same side of the equation


{x}^(2) + 5x + 4x = - 3 + 3

Add/subtract like terms


{x}^(2) + 9x = 0

Now we can factor terms


{x}^(2) = x * x \: and \: 9x = 9 * x

we can write them with their common divisor

x*(9+x) = 0 for this equation to be correct either x = 0 or (9+x) = 0

if x = 0 well then that's the first value of x

if (9+x) = 0 then x = -9 and this is the second value of x
