Question 609126
<pre>   7-STEP RECIPE FOR MAKING A QUADRATIC EQUATION

1. Make up any two solutions that you want your quadratic equation
to have,  say x = -3 and x = {{{3/4}}} [You may even pick them the same!]

2. Write these equations down side by side:    x = -3 and    x = {{{3/4}}}

3. Clear of any fractions:                                  4x = 3

4. Get 0 on the right sides:             x + 3 = 0  and 4x - 3 = 0

5. Multiply equals by equals:                  (x + 3)(4x - 3) = 0

6. Foil out the left side:                  4x² - 3x + 12x - 9 = 0

7. Combine the middle two terms:                  4x² + 9x - 9 = 0

That's how to make a quadratic equation!
