Solve x^2 10x - 11 = 0

Question

Solve the equation

x = \frac{3 1100}{10}

Alternative Form

x \approx 1.03228

Evaluate

x^{2} \times 10 x - 11 = 0

Multiply

More Steps

Evaluate

x^{2} \times 10 x

Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents

x^{2 + 1} \times 10

Add the numbers

x^{3} \times 10

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

10 x^{3}

10 x^{3} - 11 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

10 x^{3} = 0 + 11

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

10 x^{3} = 11

Divide both sides

\frac{10 x ^{3}}{10} = \frac{11}{10}

Divide the numbers

x^{3} = \frac{11}{10}

Take the 3 -th root on both sides of the equation

3 x^{3} = 3 \frac{11}{10}

Calculate

x = 3 \frac{11}{10}
