STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We are given the quadratic equation x2+28x=5x^{2} + 28x = 5.
2. We need to solve the equation by completing the square.
3. The solution will be in the form x=a±bx = a \pm \sqrt{b}, where aa and bb are numbers we need to determine.

STEP 2

To complete the square, the equation must be in the form x2+bx+(b/2)2=(b/2)2+cx^2 + bx + (b/2)^2 = (b/2)^2 + c, where cc is a constant. We will add and subtract (28/2)2(28/2)^2 on the left side of the equation to complete the square.

STEP 3

Calculate (28/2)2(28/2)^2.
(282)2=142=196\left(\frac{28}{2}\right)^2 = 14^2 = 196

STEP 4

Add and subtract 196196 to the left side of the equation.
x2+28x+196196=5x^{2} + 28x + 196 - 196 = 5

STEP 5

Rewrite the equation grouping the perfect square trinomial and moving the constants to the right side.
x2+28x+196=5+196x^{2} + 28x + 196 = 5 + 196

STEP 6

Simplify the right side of the equation.
x2+28x+196=201x^{2} + 28x + 196 = 201

STEP 7

The left side of the equation is now a perfect square trinomial, which can be factored as (x+14)2(x + 14)^2.
(x+14)2=201(x + 14)^2 = 201

STEP 8

Take the square root of both sides of the equation to solve for xx.
(x+14)2=±201\sqrt{(x + 14)^2} = \pm\sqrt{201}

STEP 9

Simplify the square root on the left side and keep the ±\pm on the right side.
x+14=±201x + 14 = \pm\sqrt{201}

STEP 10

Subtract 1414 from both sides to isolate xx.
x=14±201x = -14 \pm\sqrt{201}
The correct answer is C. x=14±201x = -14 \pm\sqrt{201}.
