Use the quadratic formula:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x^2 - 5x = 3
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%5E2-5x-3=3-3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%5E2-5x-3=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "This is now is \"highlight%28ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "a=2, b=-5, and c=-3
\n" ); document.write( "The quadratic formula is: \"highlight%28x=%28-b%2B-sqrt%28b%5E2-4ac%29%29%2F2a%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%28-%28-5%29%2B-sqrt%28%28-5%29%5E2-4%282%29%28-3%29%29%29%2F%282%282%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%285%2B-sqrt%2825%2B24%29%29%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%285%2B-sqrt%2849%29%29%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%285-7%29%2F4\" or \"x=%285%2B7%29%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=-2%2F4\" or \"x=12%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=-1%2F2%29\" or \"highlight%28x=3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Happy Calculating!!!
