hmm seems like u have to use the quadratic formula, just plug in a=20, b=70 and c=20 and you should get the answers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = (-b±√(b^2-4ac))/2a

click on the link and u can see the fraction part x = -b...... over the denominator 2a that is the formula.

just use your calculator and plug that formula in replacing the a for 20, b for 70 and c for 20.
