Algebra I

Standard Form: ax² + bx + c = 0Quadratic Formula: $\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

x(x + 5) = 387

Step 2: Identify Variables

Rewrite

[Distributive Property] Distribute x: x² + 5x = 387[Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 387 on both sides: x² + 5x - 387 = 0Part: a = 1, b = 5, c = -387

Step 3: Solve for x

Substitute in variables [Quadratic Formula]: $\displaystyle x=\frac{-5\pm\sqrt{5^2-4(1)(-387)}}{2(1)}$ [√Radical] Evaluate exponents: $\displaystyle x=\frac{-5\pm\sqrt{25-4(1)(-387)}}{2(1)}$ [√Radical] Multiply: $\displaystyle x=\frac{-5\pm\sqrt{25+1548}}{2(1)}$ [√Radical] Add: $\displaystyle x=\frac{-5\pm\sqrt{1573}}{2(1)}$ [Fraction - Denominator] Multiply: $\displaystyle x=\frac{-5\pm\sqrt{1573}}{2}$ [Fraction - √Radical] Simplify: $\displaystyle x=\frac{-5\pm 11\sqrt{13}}{2}$
