Question:

Solution:

Consider the following expression:

this is equivalent to:

this is equivalent to:

Completing the square we get:

here

a= 1

b = 20

then, we obtain:

this is equivalent to:

that is:

notice that the left side of the equation is a perfect square, and therefore the equation becomes:

Now, to solve for x, we apply the square root to both sides of the equation and we get:

$x+10^{}=\pm\sqrt[]{121}$

solving for x, we get:

$x^{}=\pm\sqrt[]{121}-10=\pm11-10$

then, the correct answers are:

$x\text{ = 11-10 = 1}$

and

$x\text{ = -11 -10= -21}$

So that, the correct answer is:

$x\text{ = 1}$

and

$x\text{ = -21}$
