Question

Solve this quadratic equation. 6x^2 - 2x = 7

Answer 1

The solutions to the equation are
`(1 +/- √(43))/(6)`.

You can find the answer to any quadratic by using the quadratic formula. The formula is below.

`\frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^(2)-4ac}}{2a}`

Then find a (the number attached to x^2), b (the number attached to x) and c (the constant). This will allow you to plug in and solve.

`\frac{2 +/- \sqrt{-2^(2)-4(6)(-7)}}{2(6)}`

`(2 +/- √(4 + 168))/(12)`

`(2 +/- √(172))/(12)`

`(1 +/- √(43))/(6)`
