Which of the following are solutions to the equation below? Check all that apply.
x2 + 4x-9 = 5x + 3
A. -3
B. 5
| C. 2
D. -4
E. 4
F-7

The answers are options A and E

x² + 4x-9 = 5x + 3

Group like terms

x² + 4x - 5x - 9 - 3 = 0

x² - x - 12 = 0

Using factorization method

(x + 3)( x - 4) = 0

x = - 3 x = 4

Hope this helps

since your problem is x^4 = 81, what you have to undeo is the "to the fourth power" part.

the inverse (opposite operation) of "to the fourth power" is "to the fourth root".

  (x^4) ^ ¼   = 81 ^ ¼  

  81 = 3^4     so (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ 1   = 3

by hand: (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ (4 x ¼) = 3 ^ 1   = 3   (when you take a power to a power, multiply the exponents.)

or, do it by calculator. one way of finding the fourth root is to use ^ (1/4)
