Question

Hey, Can someone help me solve 2x²=63-5x using the quadratic formula. ( In algebra 1 by the way)

Answer 1

Answer (if we're solving for x):

`x=-7` or
`(9)/(2)`

Explanation:

1. Rearrange the terms from
   `2x^(2) =63-5x` to
   `2x^(2)=-5x+63`
2. Move the terms to the left side:
   `2x^(2)-(-5x+63)=0`
3. Use the "sum-product" pattern:
   `2x^2+14x-9x-63=0`
4. Get the common factor drom the 2 pairs:
   `2x(x+7)-9(x+7)=0`
5. Rewrite the equation in factored form as
   `(2x-9)(x+7)=0`
6. Create 2 equations from
   `(2x-9)(x+7)=0`:
   `2x-9=0\\x+7=0`
7. This means that
   `x` can either be
   `-7 (-7+7=0=x+7)` or
   `(9)/(2) ((8)/(2)=4; (9)/(2)=4.5)`

Answer 2

I don’t want to sound d u m b but use photomath it really helped me with quadratic formula it shows steps too.
