Solve x^2+11x=−10 by completing the square.
The solutions are x= ___ and x=___.

  -10, -1

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete the square, we add the square of half the x-coefficient:

  x^2 +11x +5.5^2 = -10 +5.5^2

  (x +5.5)^2 = 20.25

Taking the square root, we get ...

  x +5.5 = ±4.5

  x = -5.5 ±4.5 = {-10, -1}

The solutions are x = -10 and x = -1.

u = -(6/7)w

step-by-step explanation:

place all values with 'u' on one side of the equation.

4u + 8w = - 3u + 2w

4u + 3u = 2w - 8w

further simplify the equation by solving the addition and subtraction.

7u = - 6w

make 'u' the independent variable by placing its co-efficient on the right-hand side.

u = - (6/7)w
