Question 678906
Is this {{{2x^2 = 5x + 8 - 9x + x}}}?
...
{{{2x^2 = -3x + 8}}}
...
{{{2x^2 + 3x - 8 = 0}}}
...
Using the quadratic equation
{{{x = (-3 +- sqrt(3^2-4(2)(-8)))/(2(2))}}}
...
{{{x = (-3 +- sqrt(9+64))/4}}}
...
{{{x = (-3 +- sqrt(73))/4}}}
...
{{{x = (-3 + sqrt(73))/4}}}
AND
{{{x = (-3 - sqrt(73))/4}}}
