Question

What is a solution of x2 - 7x = -5? (Quadratics)

Answer 1

x =(7-√29)/2= 0.807
x =(7+√29)/2= 6.193

Answer 2

@jon198 do you know how to use the quadratic formula to solve quadratic equations?

Answer 3

somewhat I know the formula but I keep getting weird answers @StudyGurl14

Answer 4

Okay. hold on a sec while i type it up, ok?

Answer 5

\(\large x^2-7x=-5\rightarrow x^2-7x+5=0\)
With a quadratic equation in the form \(\large ax^2+bx+c=0\),
\(\large x=\Large\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\)

Answer 6

What do a, b, and c equal?

Answer 7

wait is it 7 +/- Sqrt of 29/ 2?

Answer 8

Yes, actually. :)

Answer 9

Boo yah thanks!
