4x2 - 7x = 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Subtract both side by 2 then try to factor it. If this cannot be factored, then use quadratic formula. Do you know how to?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i do that then put it on here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i do b^2-4ac

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, you have 4x² - 7x = 2 You need to do this: 4x² - 7x - 2 = 2 - 2 4x² - 7x - 2 = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if it cannot be factored, then you can use this formula.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\Large x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{ b^2 - 4ac }}{2a}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it doesnt factor in 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, then use formula, just like I told you to.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i got -1/4,2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's correct. Good work.
