1.16, - 5.16

Working

Take 6 to the other side

x^2+4x = 6

Find the 3rd for the left hand side:

x^2+4x + (4/2) ^2 = 6 + (4/2) ^2

Factoring the LHS gives

(x+2) ^2=10

Finding square roots on both sides:

x+2=square root of 10

x+2 = + 3.1623 or - 3.1623

x=3.1623-2

=1.16

or

x = - 3.1623 - 2

= - 5.16
