Answer:

a) subtracting '8' on both sides, we get

- 5 x² + 8-8 = 133-8

- 5 x² = 125

b) The solution is x = 5 i

Explanation:

Explanation:-

Step (i):-

Given quadratic equation - 5 x² + 8 = 133

subtracting '8' on both sides, we get

- 5 x² + 8-8 = 133-8

- 5 x² = 125

Step(ii):-

dividing '-5' on both sides, we get


(-5 x^2)/(-5) = (125)/(-5)

x² = -25


x = √(-25)

x = 5 i
