Question

Solve for x in the equation x^2 + 20x + 100 = 36

Answer 1

The answers are x=(-4), or x=(-16)



Comment the correct answer.

Answer 2

x = -4 or x = -16

Explanation:

We have to solve equation x^2 + 20x + 100 = 36 and find the value of x

x² + 20x + 100 = 36

x² + 20x + 100 - 36 = 36 - 36

x² + 20x + 64 = 0

(x + 4 ) ( x + 16 ) = 0

x + 4 = 0 or x + 16 = 0

x = -4 or x = -16

Answer would be x = -4 or x = -16
