10x%5E2+-+16x+%2B+6+=+0
Use the quadratic formula
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
when equation is in the form
ax%5E2+%2B+bx+%2B+c+=+0
a+=+10
b+=+-16
c+=+6
x+=+%28-%28-16%29+%2B-+sqrt%28+%28-16%29%5E2-4%2A10%2A6+%29%29%2F%282%2A10%29+
x+=+%2816+%2B-+sqrt%28+256+-+240+%29%29%2F20+
x+=+%2816+%2B-+sqrt%28+16+%29%29%2F20+
x+=+%2816+%2B+4%29+%2F+20
x+=+1 answer
x+=+%2816+-+4%29%2F+20
x+=+3%2F5 answer
