x = - 4 ±

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 8x = 10

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(4)x + 16 = 10 + 16

(x + 4)² = 26 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 4 = ± ( subtract 4 from both sides )

x = - 4 ± ← exact solutions

a) 32pie square meters
