Answer:

no real solutions.

Explanation:

-11
x^(2) = x+11. Put into standard form of a quadratic equation.

11
x^(2) + x + 11 = 0 Find a, b, and c.

a = 11, b =1, c = 11 Write and substitute into the quadratic equation
\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^(2)-4ac}}{2a} .


\frac{-1 +/- \sqrt{1^(2) - 4(11)(11)} }{2(11)} Simplify.


(-1 +/- √(1-484) )/(2(11))=


(-1 +/-√(-483) )/(22) BUT because the
b^(2) -4ac part under the √ is less than 0, THERE IS NO SOLUTION!

I assume the x between -11 and 2 is multiply

that would be -22=x+11
x=-33

so there's only one solution.
