Solve for x.
Write the smaller solution first, and the larger solution second.
-x^2 -8 = -33
smaller x=
larger x=

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

-x^2-8 = -33

Add 8 to both sides. Equals to -x^2 = -25

Divide both sides by -1. x^2= 25

Square root both sides. x= 5

The answer is x =5

step-by-step explanation:

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.
