Answer 1

4.)
n^2+4n=32
--------------------------
Subtract 32 from each side
n^2+4n-32=32-32
n^2+4n-32=0
--------------------------
Factor left side of equation
(n-4)(n+8)=0
--------------------------
Now set the factors to equal 0
n-4=0
or/and
n+8=0
--------------------------
n=4 and/or n=-8
====================================================================
5.)
t^2-26t=56
Subtract 56 from each side
t^2-26t-56=56-56
t^2-26t-56=0
----------------------------
Factor left side
(t+2)(t-28)=0
--------------------------
Set factors equal to 0
t+2=0
or/and
t-28=0
t = -2 and/or t = 28
===================================================================
As you may have noticed you need to subtract to get 0 on the right side, then you factor the left side and then switch the symbols from the numbers. Negative to Positive and Positive to Negative. I'll keep provided the work for the next 3 or 4 questions
===================================================================
6.)
z^2-14z=72
----------------
Subtract 72 from each side
z^2-14z-72=72-72
z^2-14z-72=0
----------------
Factor left side
(z+4)(z-18)=0
----------------
Set factors equal to 0
z+4=0 or z-18=0
Invert
z = -4 and z = 18
===================================================================
7.)
80+a^2=18a
-------------------------
Simplify
a^2+80=18a
------------------------
Subtract 18a from each side
a^2+80-18a=18a-18a
a^2-18a+80=0
------------------------
Factor left side
(a-8)(a-10)=0
-----------------------
Set factors to equal 0
a-8=0 or a-10=0
Invert
a = 8 and a = 10
===================================================================
8.)
u^2=16u+36
--------------------------
Subtract 16u+36 from both sides.
u^2-(16u+36)=16u+36-(16u+36)
u^2-16u-36=0
--------------------------
Factor left side
(u+2)(u-18)=0
--------------------------
Set factors to 0
u+2=0 or u-18=0
Invert
u = -2 and u = 18
====================================================================
9.)
3h^2+6h=105
--------------------------
Subtract 105 from each side
3h^2+6h-105=105-105
3h^2+6h-105=0
--------------------------
Factor left side
3(h-5)(h+7)=0
--------------------------
Set factors to equal 0
h-5=0 or h+7=0
h = 5 and h = -7
===================================================================
10.)
a^2+14a=-45
---------------------------
Subtract -45 from each side
a^2+14a-(-45)=-45-(-45)
a^2+14a+45=0
--------------------------
Factor left side
(a+5)(a+9)=0
-------------------------
Set factors to equal 0
a+5=0 or a+9=0
Invert
a = -5 and a = -9
===================================================================
12.)
w=5 and w=6
===================================================================
13.)
k=6 and k=-9
===================================================================
14.)
h=5 and h=12
