PLEASE HELP :) I will give all points

answer choice a

x^2 - 5x - 1 = 0

a=1, b=-5, and c=-1

next you plug in the numbers into the quadratic formula

-(-5) plus or minus the square root of (-5)^2 - 4(1)(-1)/ 2(1)

after you simply, you should get 5 plus or minus the square root of 29, which is answer choice a

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
