how do you solve 6x squared minus 11x minus 7.2
-------------------------
6x^2-11x-7.2 = 0
-------
Use the quadratic formula::
x = [11 +- sqrt(121-4*6*-7.2)]/12
---------
x = [11 +- 17.14]/12
---------
x = 28.14/12 or x = -6.14/12
-------
x = 2.345 or x = -0.5117

There's no equal sign, so it's not an equation --> you don't solve it.
