Help plz, how do I make this into ax^2 + bx + c

Answer 1

help plz

Answer 2

Ok, since those first two terms are fractions, and you are dealing with an equation, your goal here is to eliminate the fraction by finding the LCM of the denominators.

Answer 3

So I have to make the denominators the same right ?

Answer 4

\[\frac{ 6 }{ x ^{2} }-\frac{ 17 }{ x }+5=0\]Yes, I changed the t's to x's since that is the general form usually. In order to "get rid of" the t and the t-squared in the denominators of the first two terms, what would you have to multiply the terms by? Do you know? Your goal, like I said, is to totally eliminate the denominators altogether.

Answer 5

So I have to multiply X to the other side
