To determine whether the given values (−23, 0, and 12) are solutions to the quadratic equation \( x^2 + 20x = 69 \), we'll substitute each value into the equation and see if the equation holds true.
First, we rearrange the equation to standard form: \[ x^2 + 20x - 69 = 0 \]
Next, we'll substitute each value of \( x \) into the equation \( x^2 + 20x - 69 \) and evaluate.
-
For \( x = -23 \): \[ (-23)^2 + 20(-23) - 69 = 529 - 460 - 69 = 0 \]
- True Statement? Yes
-
For \( x = 0 \): \[ (0)^2 + 20(0) - 69 = 0 + 0 - 69 = -69 \]
- True Statement? No
-
For \( x = 12 \): \[ (12)^2 + 20(12) - 69 = 144 + 240 - 69 = 315 \]
- True Statement? No
Now, we can complete the table as follows:
| x | Substituted | Evaluate | True Statement? | |-----|---------------------------------|----------|------------------| | -23 | \((-23)^2 + 20(-23) - 69\) | 0 | Yes | | 0 | \(0^2 + 20(0) - 69\) | -69 | No | | 12 | \(12^2 + 20(12) - 69\) | 315 | No |
Conclusion
The only value in the solution set is \( x = -23 \).
