Question

What does Y=
what does x=

Answer 1

Explanation:

The equation factors into

(x^2 + 14x + 49) =16 Factor

(x + 7)^2 = 16 Take the square root of both sides

√(x + 7)^2 = √16

x + 7 = +/- 4

x + 7 = + 4 Subtract 7 from both sides

x = 4 - 7

x = - 3

x + 7 = - 4 Subtract 7 from both sides.

x = - 4 - 7

x = - 11

x1 = -11

x2 = - 3
