Factorise the equation. That should give you your answers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If it doesn't, use the quadratic formula.

Are no how to do that i am lose

Okay. You should have the quadratic formula with you somewhere. All you need to do is plug in the corresponding coefficients into the equation where ax^2 + bx + c = 0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The quadratic formula is: \[x= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\] In your equation, \[x^2+8x-6=0\] a = 1, b = 8, & c = -6. Can you put those values into the quadratic formula?
