Answer:
s = 1.17, -23.17
Step-by-step explanation:
s^2 + 22s = 27
Take the coefficient of s
22
Divide by 2
22/2 =11
Square it
11^2 =121
Add this to both sides
s^2 + 22s+121 = 27+121
s^2 + 22s+121 = 148
(s+11)^2 = 148
Take the square root of each side
sqrt((s+11)^2) = ±sqrt(148)
s+11 = ±sqrt(148)
Subtract 11 from each side
s+11-11 = -11 ±sqrt(148)
s = -11 ±sqrt(148)
s = -11 + sqrt(148) = 1.1655
- 11 - sqrt(148)=-23.166
Rounding to the nearest hundredth
s = 1.17, -23.17
