Answer:

b and c

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 4x = - 5

Solve by using the method of completing the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to both sides

x² + 2(- 2)x + 4 = - 5 + 4

(x - 2)² = - 1 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 2 = ± [tex]\sqrt{-1}[/tex] = ± i ( add 2 to both sides )

x = 2 ± i

Then solutions are

x = 2 - i → b

x = 2 + i → c
