Question

Can you help me solve this problem for the roots by using the quadratic formula?
2(6 - x) = x(x + 5)

Answer 1

I don't know how to use the quadratic formula..

Answer 2

As well as I'd like.

Answer 3

start with
\[2(6 - x) = x(x + 5)\]
\[12-2x=x^2+5x\]
\[x^2+7x-12=0\] then go form there

Answer 4

@diamondsparkles5892 do you have an answer?

Answer 5

ok, here:

starting from where satellite left off,

x^2 + 7x - 12 = 0

which means that a = 1, b = 7, and c = -12

if you dont know the quadratic equation already, it's



so now just plug in the values.


and then simplify it.
