I am supposed to solve each quadratic equation using any technique, name the technique, and check. But I do not think this is a quadratic equation because it is not written in a form of y = ax squared + bx + c. I think to solve x would equal 0. Am I right or do I totally not understand? </SPAN>\n" );
