Answer:

x = 2 - 5[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex], x = 2 + 5[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 4x = 71

to complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 2)x + 4 = 71 + 4

(x - 2)² = 75 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 2 = ± [tex]\sqrt{75}[/tex] = ± 5[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] ( add 2 to both sides )

x = 2 ± 5[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]

then

x = 2 - 5[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] , x = 2 + 5[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]
