Question

Divide.
2x4 + 11x3 + 13x2 + 2x - 8 = x +4

Answer 1

x=-55

Explanation:

(2)(4)+(11)(3)+(13)(2)+2x−8=x+4

Simplify both sides of the equation.

8+33+26+2x+−8=x+4

Combine like terms

(2x)+(8+33+26+−8)=x+4

2x+59=x+4

2x+59=x+4

Subtract from both sides

2x+59−x=x+4−x

x+59=4

Subtract 59 from both sides

x+59−59=4−59

x=−55
