Hi there,

x(x + 19) = -34

I'm going to solve your equation step-by-step.x(x + 19) = −34

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.x2 + 19x = −34

Step 2: Subtract -34 from both sides.x2 + 19x (−34) = −34 (−34)

x2 + 19x + 34 = 0

Step 3: Factor left side of equation.(x + 2) (x + 17) = 0

Step 4: Set factors equal to 0.x + 2 = 0 or x + 17 = 0

x = 2 or x = −17

Answer:x = 2 or x = 17

Hope this helps! :)
