If I solved it, would you help me solve my mid-life crisis?
For this question, you cannot factor. So the only thing left to do is the most annoying formula, quadratic formula.
a=1
b=-8
c=35
I am sure that you know the quadratic formula so well that this question was just to test my skills as a tutor.
I will take the challenge.
x=8+sqrt(64-140)
--------------------
2
x=8-sqrt(64-140)
--------------------
2
as you can see here that we will get a negative square root. so basically there is no real answers just like there is no answer to my mid-life crisis.
However, if you would like to continue solving it, let me know!
Good luck
