A) $x ^ { 2 } + 11 x + 5 = 0$
B) $x ^ { 2 } + 6 x + 5 = 0$
C) $x ^ { 2 } + 6 x - 5 = 0$
D) $x ^ { 2 } - 6 x + 5 = 0$
E) $x ^ { 2 } = - 6 x - 5$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To write the equation in general form, you need to move all terms to one side so that the equation equals zero. Adding 5 to both sides of the equation $x^2 + 6x = -5$ gives $x^2 + 6x + 5 = 0$.

Write x2+6x=−5x ^ { 2 } + 6 x = - 5x2+6x=−5

Write $x ^ { 2 } + 6 x = - 5$
