Re: x =

Hi;

x  = 10, x = 8, x = -8, x = -10


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

FInd c.

Also, the LaTeX doesn't seem to work..

Re: x =

If you cross multiply,then you'd get c^2-4c=4c-20 which is c^2-8c+20=0,now you just have to find the polynomial's roots.

Re: x =

Hi;

I am getting

c = 4 - 2 i and c = 4 + 2 i
