Solve x^2 -24 = -80 by completing the square.

What is the solution set of the equation?

A.(2,40)

B.(4,20)

C.(5,16)

D.(8,10)

B.(4,20)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

To solve the quadratic equation by completing the square, we follow these steps.

Step 1: Divide the coefficient of x by 2

Step 2: Square your result fro Step 1

Step 3: Add the result form step 2 to both sides of the equation

Step 4: Rewrite the Left hand side in the form

Step 5: Take square roots of both sides

Step 6: Solve for x

Therefore, the solution set of the equation is (4,20).

use distributive property on all like terms and change your signs if you have a double negative or if you have positive/negative
