An equation, such as the one above, may be true for some values of the variable(s). There need not be any solution in the relevant domain.
To "show" something, in this context, you need an identity - an equation that is true whatever the value of the variable.
The above is NOT an identity, since for x=0 is gives -40 = 0 which is clearly not true.
x2 + x2 = 2x2
It equals x2 - 34
The quadratic expression x2+6x+8 when factorised equals (x+2)(x+4)
if x2 + 7 = 37, then x2 = 29 and x = ±√29
x2 + 10x + 21 = (x + 3)(x + 7)
-2
-7.5?
4
X2 or 2 times x?
x2 plus 3x plus 3 is equals to 0 can be solved by getting the roots.
