Quadratic formula for: 255=x/(.1510-x)(.180-x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you multiply the terms in (.1510-x)(.180-x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got .02718-.331x-x^2 with the answers of -.151 and -.18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what is your question now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did I do that correctly? I need to solve for x, so to do that I take the answer to the quadratic formula and then multiply by the 255, correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Plug the values and check.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No first multiply everything (perform the cross multiplication and simplify) and then solve.
