Problem: X2 +4x = -1
X2 +4x +4 = -1+4
it's just meaningless numbers... kind of like math art.
this is the same thing:
 2 + 4 = -1
2 + 4 + 4 = -1 + 4
another version
x2 + 4x = -1
x2 + 4x +  = -1 +
or
x2 + 4x = -1
x2 + 4x +     = -1 +
or you can look at it like this...
big boobs = 
big boobs + 4 = + 4 ...... take the first thing you know; "big boobs = " and use that info in the second equation....
+ 4 = + 4

crazy8 had it; you need to use the quadratic equation.
But beau has the purtiest formulas.

Not really clear as why to use 4 would another # work

decavo, what you are trying to do is called "completing the square"
Completing the Square: Solving Quadratic Equations
The guys giving you advice were right, but IMO didn't explain it correctly.
So, what you wanted to do is take advantage of the some basic algebraic identities, and for you to do that, you have to take your original equation and put them in the right form.
So, your equation was setup as:
x^2 + 4x...
1) To complete the square, we take the 4 from the 4x
2) Divide the 4 by 2...this gives 2
3) Then we square the 2..this gives us the 4, which we also need to add to the other side of the "=" sign.
See the link above as it has some more examples that you can look at it.
Good luck and stick with it...next semester it will be calculus

So what is your major? So far I've only seen posts on English Composition and now basic Algebra. I must have missed the, "I'm gonna be a ...." thread. Just curious.

I use it everyday, as I assume most folks do.
Example - I have six eggs left in the fridge for four people. If I scramble them, how many eggs will each person get?
4x = 6
x =6/4
x = 1 1/2
Each person gets an egg and a half.

Dammit, look: put your formula in the form of
then solve for x:
x= 
don't ask why it works, just memorize the fricking formula. It's a basic algebraic formula and I don't think anyone's going to ask you to prove it unless you're doing some "beautiful mind" math.

Folks have different learning styles. I hated math till I took my first calculus course. My instructor was very visual, graphed almost everything - that clicked for me (probably didn't hurt that she was attractive too!) I'm no genius, but now I kinda dig the math!

I hope that light comes on soon.
I am always using math to calculate formulas and pricing of my products, but put a "x" in there and I am freaking out.,,
