Question

solve the equation using inverse operations check your solutions in your final answer include all of your work 5 - 2x^2 = -15

Answer 1

x = ± \sqrt{10}

Explanation:

Given

5 - 2x² = - 15 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

- 2x² = - 20 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x² = 10 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{10}

Explanation:

Answer 2

x = ±
`√(10)`

Explanation:

Given

5 - 2x² = - 15 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

- 2x² = - 20 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x² = 10 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ±
`√(10)`
