Would you help me solve -x^2 - 3x + 1 = 0?

Question

anonymous · Answer

$$ -x^2 - 3x + 1 = 0$$ i would start with 
$$x^2+3x-1=0$$ because i find it easier that way 
then you are going to have to use the quadratic formula because this one will not factor 
do you know it ?

@satellite73  Yes -b +/- sq. root -b^2-4ac.
Thank you for the tip to use the quadratic formula, I was stuck on factoring it. Even when dividing by -1 I still couldn't factor! 
I will try the quadratic formula, thanks!

anonymous · Answer

yeah don't bother to factor, it does not 
just use the formula

@satellite73 Yes, thank you. I also meant to include dividing the whole formula by 2(a) on the last post as well.
