I got x=1/3, -2/3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well u can just plug it into the quadratic formula for b to show ur work
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I got x = 1 over 3, -2 over 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
But I need a description of why I chose that and i need to show my work
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You there? @DaBest21
