Question

x²+x-20=0 solve this​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

x² + x - 20 = 0

x² + x = 20

x² + 2 × x × 1/2 = 20

x² + 2 × x × 1/2 + ( 1/2 )² = 20 + ( 1/2 )²

( x + 1/2 )² = 20 + 1/4

( x + 1/2 )² = ( 80 + 1 )/4

( x + 1/2 )² = 81/4

x + 1/2 = ± √( 81/4 )

x + 1/2 = ± 9/2

x = -1/2 ± 9/2

x = ( -1/2 + 9/2 ) or x = ( -1/2 - 9/2 )

x = 8/2 or x = -10/2

x = 4 or x = -5

I hope this helps you.
