You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-x+6=5x^2 Invert to formula
\n" ); document.write( "0=5x^2+x-6 Solve regularly
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=%28-b%2B-sqrt%28b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=%28-1%2B-sqrt%281%5E2-4%2A5%2A-6%29%29%2F%282%2A5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=%28-1%2B-11%29%29%2F%2810%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x= -6/5, x= 1 These are your answers. They should check. Let's see:
\n" ); document.write( "0=5(1)^2+1-6
\n" ); document.write( "0=0 This checks. Let's try the next one:
\n" ); document.write( "0=5(-6/5)^2-6/5-6
\n" ); document.write( "0=0/5 This also check because 5 goes into 0, 0 times.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "After this work, mabey you did something wrong like mabey you made a sign error. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
