Question

solve by completing the square.
\\(y = x^2 + 4x - 7\\)
\\(\pm\sqrt{11} = x + 2\\)
now we just need to solve for \\(x\\). what is the final step?

add 2 to both sides.
subtract 2 from both sides.

Explanation:

Identify the current equation

Using the Completing the Square and Solving Quadratic Equations knowledge points

$$ \pm\sqrt{11} = x + 2 $$

Isolate the variable x

Using the Solving Quadratic Equations knowledge point

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

This requires subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation.

Answer:

  • Add 2 to both sides.
  • Subtract 2 from both sides. (Correct answer)
