Question

What would be the most logical first step for solving this quadratis equation?
x²+2x+13= -8

Answer 1

subtract 13 from both sides

Explanation:

subtract 13 so that you will have all of the x's on one side and all of the constant numbers on the other side of the equal sign.

Answer 2

B. Add 8 to both sides

Explanation:

So you can have 0 at the other end and factor it properly.
