Because you'll never learn it You already know how you need to get x by itself.......Now what do you need to do first?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay is the answer 2?

OpenStudy (geometry_hater):

howd you get 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/2 + 3x = -x^2 + 7x x^2 -4x = -1/2 x^2 -4x + 4 = 4 - 1/2 (x-2)^2 = 14/4 x-2 = +/-sqrt(14)/2 x = [4 +/- sqrt14] /2

OpenStudy (geometry_hater):
