Question

I need help with a math problem please show me how to do it step by step here is the problem

40 = -x^2-14x

Answer 1

Hey there!


Let me help you will quick...

So, we have:


`40=-x^2 -14x`
Start by subtracting
`-x^2 -14x` from both sides

`40-(-x^2 -14x)=-x^2 -14x-(x^2 -14x) x^2 +14x +40 = 0`
Now we need to factorize
`(x+4)(x+10)=0 Set factors equal to 0 x+4 = 0 or x+10 =0 x = 0 - 4 or x = 0 - 10 x = -4 or x=-10`

Best of luck with your studies!
