Answer :
b² = 8b + 84
b² - 8b - 84 = 0
b = -(-8) +/- √((8)² - 4(1)(-84))
2(1)
b = 8 +/- √(64 + 336)
2
b = 8 +/- √(400)
2
b = 8 +/- 20
2
b = 4 + 10
b = 4 + 10 b = 4 - 10
b = 14 b = -6
b² - 8b - 84 = 0
b = -(-8) +/- √((8)² - 4(1)(-84))
2(1)
b = 8 +/- √(64 + 336)
2
b = 8 +/- √(400)
2
b = 8 +/- 20
2
b = 4 + 10
b = 4 + 10 b = 4 - 10
b = 14 b = -6
