Question:

Solution:

a) Consider the following equation:

applying the distributive property, we get:

$x^2+2x-8\text{ =}7$

now, putting all terms on one side of the equation, we get:

this is equivalent to:

Factoring this expression, we get:

according to the equation, we can conclude that the solutions for the given equation are:

$x\text{ = 3}$

and

$x=\text{ }-5$

b) Consider the following equation:

$6x^2+9x-22\text{ =0}$

applying the quadratic formula:

$\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

where

a = 6,

b = 9

and

c = -22,

we obtain that the solutions of the given equations are:

$x\text{ =}\frac{-9+\sqrt[]{609}}{12}=\text{ 1.3}0$

and

$x\text{ =}\frac{-9-\sqrt[]{609}}{12}=\text{ -2.8}0$
