Question

solve for x:
x^2=x-35

anonymous · Answer

Use the quadratic formula:
$x^2-x+35=0$
$a=1,b=1,c=35$

right amorfide ... i think onmi did mistake in typing ..

anonymous · Answer

Yes, I did, lol.
$a=1, b=-1, c=35$

amorfide · Answer

original equation: x²=x-35
re arrange the equation to get all terms onto one side and make it equal to zero 
you do this by subtracting and x on both sides and adding 35 onto both sides ( you do the opposite to the sign of the term/constant)
the new equation given is:x²-x+35=0
the value of each thing in the equation can be given a letter in order so a,b,c
a=1
b=-1
c=35
take note... x² and -x  have a 1 and -1 infront of it... it still has a value

anyway now that we have 3 values we can sub them into this formula
