Question 176588: Please Help! I have tried several times to solve it and keep getting different answers
x^2+13/2x=13
I started by moving the 13 to the other side to make a quadratic equation:
x^2+13/2x-13=0 right? and I have no idea after that. Thank you so much

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x%5E2%2B%2813%2F2%29x-13=0
So far so good.
Next step, use the quadratic formula which solves for zeros of a general quadratic equation,
ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0
with the appropriate values for a,b, and c.
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
