Solution

Given the equation below:


x(x+6)=91

Using the completing the square:


\begin{gathered} x(x+6)=91 \\ x^2+6x-91=0 \\ half\text{ the coefficient of x, square and add to both side} \\ x^2+6x=91 \\ x^2+6x+(3)^2=91+(3)^2 \\ (x+3)^2=91+9 \\ (x+3)^2=100 \end{gathered}

Square root both side of the equation


\begin{gathered} (x+3)^2=100 \\ √((x+3)^2)=\pm√(100) \\ x+3=\pm10 \\ x=\pm10-3 \\ x=7,x=-13 \end{gathered}

Therefore the equivalent equations in the appropriate order is
