SAT Math· difficulty 4/5

Solve x2+6x+7=0x^2 + 6x + 7 = 0.

  • A

    x=3±7x = -3 \pm \sqrt{7}

  • B

    x=6±2x = -6 \pm \sqrt{2}

  • C

    x=3±2x = -3 \pm \sqrt{2}

    check_circle
  • D

    x=3±2x = 3 \pm \sqrt{2}

Explanation

x=6±36282=6±222=3±2x = \frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{36-28}}{2} = \frac{-6 \pm 2\sqrt{2}}{2} = -3 \pm \sqrt{2}.
