x2+10x+16=0
Let's observe that the given equation:
x2+10x+16=0is a quadratic equation that can be solved using quick factoring:
x2+10x+16=0⟷{?⋅?=16?+?=10↓(x+2)(x+8)=0and therefore we get two simpler equations from which we can extract the solution:
(x+2)(x+8)=0↓x+2=0→x=−2x+8=0→x=−8x=−2,−8Therefore, the correct answer is answer B.
x=−8,x=−2
