Solve by quadratic formula 2x^2 + 7x = 6 @random231

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that supposed to be "2^2" by any chance and not the 2x2 that you wrote?

OpenStudy (phebe):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, so in order to be able to use the quadratic formula, we need to make sure that the polynomial is equal to 0, but we have a 6 there right now. Is there any way you can get the 6 to the left side of the equals sign?

OpenStudy (phebe):

ok ik soo do u know the answer

@juanjohnguy

OpenStudy (phebe):

@kropot72 u gone help me

Now that you have everything equal to zero, you can use the quadratic formula to solve the problem

OpenStudy (phebe):

ok

OpenStudy (kropot72):

What is the result if you subtract 6 from the left hand and the right hand sides of the equation? Note: The correct result for the above step will form a quadratic, to which we can apply the quadratic formula.

OpenStudy (phebe):

do u know the answer

OpenStudy (phebe):

@random231

OpenStudy (kropot72):

@Phebe I am happy to help you find the answer.

OpenStudy (phebe):

OpenStudy (kropot72):

What is the result if you subtract 6 from the left hand and the right hand sides of the equation? Please post your result. Note: The correct result for the above step will form a quadratic, to which we can apply the quadratic formula.

OpenStudy (phebe):

idk but thas ok nd thanx for ur help k XD i'll giv u a medal k

OpenStudy (kropot72):

You should really try to master that simple step.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
