show work

Answer 1

(x-3)(x-7)=0
x=3,7
hope this helps!

Answer 2

Values of x will be [5 + √(-2)] and [5 - √(-2)]

Explanation:

Thomas soled the equation (x² - 10x + 27) = 0 by completing the square.

x² - 2(5x) + 27 = 0

x² - 2(5x) + 25 - 25 + 27 = 0

(x - 5)² - 25 + 27 = 0

(x - 5)² + 2 = 0

(x - 5)² = - 2

(x - 5) = ±√(-2)

x = 5 ±√(-2)

Therefore, values of x will be [5 + √(-2)] and [5 - √(-2)].
