Solve x^2 + 8x -3 =6 x= ? x= ?

The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, +2x its coefficient is 2 .
The last term, "the constant", is -3

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -3 = -3

Step-2 : Find two factors of -3 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 2 .

-3 + 1 = -2
-1 + 3 = 2 That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -1 and 3
x2 - 1x + 3x - 3

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (x-1)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
3 • (x-1)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+3) • (x-1)
Which is the desired factorization

Equation at the end of step
1
:

(x + 3) • (x - 1) = 0

Do the math. she originally had 50 dollars on her gift card and she had 12 dollars left on her gift card after she finished her shopping spree. if you subtract 50 minus 12 you get thirty eight dollars as your answer. so therefore, ciara spent 38 dollars total o
