ik the forumla is this: x = [ -b ± sqrt(b^2 - 4ac) ] / 2a

Nnesha (nnesha):

well we should use complete the square method you can move the constant term to the right side

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

x is the term correct?

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[ \huge\rm 4x^2 − 12x + 3 = 0\] subtract 3 both sides

Nnesha (nnesha):

not just x term are divided by plus or negative sign

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

uh... subtract the 4x^2 by 3 and the 12 by 3?

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm Ax^2+Bx+C=0\]quadratic e quation where A=leading coefficient B=middle term C=constant term(number with no variable )

Nnesha (nnesha):

|dw:1443453772906:dw| you can't combine -3 and 4x^2 they arn't like terms
