Solve for x:
\n" ); document.write( "\"20x%5E2-31x-9+=+0\" Use the quadratic formula:\"x=%28-b%2B-sqrt%28b%5E2-4ac%29%29%2F2a\"
\n" ); document.write( "Here, a = 20, b = -31, and c = -9
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+%28-%28-31%29%2B-sqrt%28%28-31%29%5E2-4%2820%29%28-9%29%29%29%2F2%2820%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+%2831%2B-sqrt%28961-%28-720%29%29%29%2F40\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+%2831%2B-sqrt%281681%29%29%2F40\"...and\"sqrt%281681%29+=+41\" + or -, so...
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+%2831%2B41%29%2F40\" or \"x+=+%2831-41%29%2F41\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+72%2F40\" or \"x+=+-10%2F40\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+1.8\" or \"x+=+-0.25\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
