I have been out of school for five years and I don't remember any of this can someone please help me it is algebra

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^{2}=6x+40\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1st move all of your values to one side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it looks like -x^2 + 6x + 40

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do I know when to just move things to one side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When you're dealing with quadratics \[ax^2 + bx + c\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And you want to solve the problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is a quadatic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its just a certain form of a function.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ax^2+bx+c\]

OpenStudy (imstuck):

Just FYI...a quadratic is a second degree equation. x^2 means it's second degree.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sometimes they're referenced as trinomials. Thanks @IMStuck
