dude:

When you factor you want the equation to be equal to 0

zarkam21:

so this is equal

dude:

No, I mean make it so that the equation is on one side of the equation and set to 0 \(x^2-x=30\)

dude:

You would subtract 30 from both sides

dude:

=> \(x^2-x-30=0\)

zarkam21:

x^2-x-30?

dude:

Right

dude:

I feel comfortable with the quadratic equation, is there a specific method for solving that you would like to do?

zarkam21:

that is fine

dude:

\(x=\large{\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}}\) Based on the equation we know that \(a=1\\ b=-1\\ c=-30\)

dude:

\(\large{\frac{-(-1)+\sqrt{(-1)^2-4(-30)}}{2}}\) and \(\large{\frac{-(-1)-\sqrt{(-1)^2-4(-30)}}{2}}\)

zarkam21:

Yeah so i got b

dude:

Yeh

Thanks!!
