-2x^2+32x-110  = 16 (in thousands of dollars)
solve for x

sorry, i assumed the middle term is 32x, not 32. right ?

anonymous · Answer

yes, thanks.. 32x! how would i solve for x tho.. i would move the -110 to the other side of the equal sign, then what?

agent0smith · Answer

Subtract 16 on both sides. Then, either factor it, or use the quadratic formula.

agent0smith · Answer

You can can also divide everything by 2 before trying to factor.
