Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(2 + 10x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 2 + 10x + x2 = 0 Solving 2 + 10x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '-2' to each side of the equation. 2 + 10x + -2 + x2 = 0 + -2 Reorder the terms: 2 + -2 + 10x + x2 = 0 + -2 Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0 0 + 10x + x2 = 0 + -2 10x + x2 = 0 + -2 Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2 10x + x2 = -2 The x term is 10x. Take half its coefficient (5). Square it (25) and add it to both sides. Add '25' to each side of the equation. 10x + 25 + x2 = -2 + 25 Reorder the terms: 25 + 10x + x2 = -2 + 25 Combine like terms: -2 + 25 = 23 25 + 10x + x2 = 23 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + 5)(x + 5) = 23 Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.795831523 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + 5) equal to 4.795831523 and -4.795831523.

Subproblem 1

x + 5 = 4.795831523 Simplifying x + 5 = 4.795831523 Reorder the terms: 5 + x = 4.795831523 Solving 5 + x = 4.795831523 Solving for variable 'x'.
