➤ [ Step One ] Solve Using Quadratic Formula


\bold{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:ax^2+bx+c=0 \ the\:solutions\:are\:}}


\bold{x_(1,\:2)=(-b\pm √(b^2-4ac))/(2a)}


\bold{a=1,\:b=3,\:c=-18:\quad z_(1,\:2)=(-3\pm √(3^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-18\right)))/(2\cdot \:1)}

➤ [ Step Two ] Solve Equation


\bold{(-3+√(3^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-18\right)))/(2\cdot \:1): \ 3}

➤ [ Step Three ] Solve Equation


\bold{(-3-√(3^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-18\right)))/(2\cdot \:1): \ -6}

➤ [ Step Four ] Combine Solutions


\bold{z=3,\:z=-6}
