It is not solvable by that method, shanaid. You have to get all the numbers on the left, set them to equal zero, and factor.
which method is used to solve this equation. x^2-9x-4=6
I would factor, move the six over, then factor
i would move the -4 over so it would be
x^2-9x=6-4
that makes it easier.
then just solve it from there.
To solve the equation x^2 - 9x - 4 = 6 using factoring, you can follow these steps:
1. First, rearrange the equation so that the constant term is on the right side:
x^2 - 9x - 4 - 6 = 0
Simplifying further, we have:
x^2 - 9x - 10 = 0
2. Now, we need to factor the quadratic expression on the left side. We are looking for two numbers that multiply to give 10 and add up to give -9. The numbers -10 and +1 fit this criteria, so we can write:
(x - 10)(x + 1) = 0
3. To find the solutions for x, set each factor equal to zero and solve for x:
x - 10 = 0 --> x = 10
x + 1 = 0 --> x = -1
Therefore, the solutions to the equation x^2 - 9x - 4 = 6 are x = 10 and x = -1.
Remember, factoring is just one method to solve quadratic equations. There are other methods like using the quadratic formula or completing the square.
