solve for x 4x^2=-20x-25 if there is more than one solution, separate them with commas. if there is no solution, click on "no solution."

4 x^(2) +20x+25=0

a x^(2) +bx+c=0
Δ=
b^(2) -4ac
Δ=
20^(2) - 4*4*25
Δ=400 - 400 = 0

if
Δ > 0 equation has 2 solution
Δ = 0 equation has 1 solution
Δ < 0 no real solution


x= (-b)/(2a)


x_(0) = (-20)/(2*4) = (-20)/(8) = -2.5
