Divide the whole thing by 2
2(X^2+8x-5)
X^2+8x. =5
Half of 8 is 4 sq it so you add 16
X^2+8x+16= 5+16
(X+4)^2=21

Answer: The correct option is (D)
(x+4)^2=21.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to select the correct equation that has the same solution as the following quadratic equation:


2x^2+16x-10=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

We will be trying to apply the method of completing the square to the given equation.

From equation (i), we have


2x^2+16x-10=0\\\\\Rightarrow x^2+8x-5=0\\\\\Rightarrow x^2+2* x* 4+4^2-5=4^2\\\\\Rightarrow (x+4)^2=16+5\\\\\Rightarrow (x+4)^2=21.

Thus, the required equation with the same solution as the given equation si
(x+4)^2=21.

Option (D) is CORRECT.
