Answer:

Explanation:

Please be specific: "How do you solve 6x^2 - 2 = 11x?"

Rewrite this in terms of descending powers of x: 6x^2 - 11x - 1 = 0.

Use the quadratic formula to find the roots. Here the coefficients are a = 6, b = -11 and c = -1. Then the discriminant b^2 - 4ac becomes 121 - 4(6)(-1) = 121 + 24 = 145, and so the roots are:

-(-11) ± √145 11 ± √145

x = ---------------------- = ------------------

2(6) 12
