Answer:

See the arrangement below

Explanation:

Given the expression

2x^2+x - 9 = 4x

Step 1: Write in standard form

2x^2 + x - 9 - 4x = 0

2x^2 + x - 4x - 9 = 0

2x^2 - 3x - 9 = 0

Step 2; identify the coefficients

The standard quadratic expression is ax^2+bx+c = 0

a = 2, b = -3, c = -9

Step 3: Using the general formula to find the roots

x = -b±√b²-4ac/2a

x = -(-3)±√(-3)²-4(2)(-9)/2(2)

Step 4: simplify

x = -(-3)±√(-3)²-4(2)(-9)/2(2)

x = 3 ±√9+72/4

Step 5; Find the roots

x = 3 ±√81/4

x = 3 ±9/4

x = 3+9/4 and 3-9/4

x = 12/4 and -6/4

x = 3 and -3/2
