Answer:

Explanation:

We can use the quadratic formula to get the answer to this

Quadratic Formula: -b +- √b² - 4ac/2a

Once we input A, B, and C into this, and solve any multiplication, we get

x = -1 +- √1 + 20/2

We divide by 2a, which 2a = 2.

-0.5 +- 10.5.

these are the following values of x:

x = 10

x = 11

Pretty sure this is it, hope it helps!
