Question 766460: 28x - 140 I have six steps to do this problem
1. move the constant term to the right side of the equation
2. multiply each term in the equation by four times the coefficient of the x to the second power term
3. square the coefficient of the original x term and add it to both sides of the equation
4. take the square root of both sides
5. set the left side of the equation equal to the positive square root of the number on the right side and solve for x
6. set the left side of the equation equal to the negative square root of the number on the right side of the equation and solve for x

1. move the constant term to the right side of the equation

2. multiply each term in the equation by four times the coefficient of the to
the second power term

3. square the coefficient of the original term and add it to both sides
of the equation

4. take the square root of both sides

5. set the left side of the equation equal to the positive square root of
the number on the right side and solve for

6. set the left side of the equation equal to the negative square root of
the number on the right side of the equation and solve for
