Can I try? @campbell_st I think I know this \[x=\frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{ 2a }\] Right?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well that will get the answer for you...

\[x=\frac{ -6 \pm \sqrt{6^2-4(9)(1)} }{ 2(9) }\] \[x=\frac{ -6 \pm \sqrt{36-36} }{ 18 }\] \[x=\frac{ -6 }{ 18 }\] x=-3 Right? lol

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

nope.... -6/18 = -1/3

Ugh, I had that at first, but I got confused lol
