Get it equal to 0 and try to factor it.

17x^2-11x+2=2x^2 17x^2-11x+2-2x^2=0 15x^2-11x+2=0 Now use the quadratic formula to solve x = (-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a) x = (-(-11)+-sqrt((-11)^2-4(15)(2)))/(2(15)) x = (11+-sqrt(121-(120)))/(30) x = (11+-sqrt(1))/30 x = (11+sqrt(1))/30 or x = (11-sqrt(1))/30 x = (11+1)/30 or x = (11-1)/30 x = 12/30 or x = 10/30 x = 2/5 or x = 1/3 So the solutions are x = 2/5 or x = 1/3

O geez. Now Jim ruined it for you.
