Answer:
x=4 or x=-10
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 6x = 40
x² + 6x - 40 = 40 - 40
x² + 6x - 40 = 0
Use quadratic formula:[tex]\frac{b-+\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}[/tex]
a=1 , b=6 , c= -40
[tex]\frac{-(6)-+\sqrt{6^{2} -4.1.(-40)} }{2.1}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{-(6)-+\sqrt{196} }{2.1}[/tex]
x=4 or x=-10
Hope this helps ^-^
