Question

Use the quadratic formula to solve for X.

2x- + 6x= -3
Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
If there is more than one solution, separate them with commas.

Answer 1

x = 0.75 and or x = -0.38

Explanation:

If the minus sign after the x was on purpose or if you accidentally put the addition sign after the minus or the other way around basically I have no idea if the solution I provided is correct so here's the solution to both possible equations you might have meant to type instead (and if this was intentional then awesome):

1. 2x - 6x = -3 and 2. 2x + 6x = -3

Let's do 1. first!

`2x-6x=-3`

Simplify 2x-6x to -4x

`-4x=-3`

Divide each side by -4

`x=(-3)/(-4)`

And as you know, two negatives equal/make a positive

`x=(3)/(4)` or
`x=0.75`

Now! Let's solve for 2.

`2x+6x=-3`

Simplify 2x+6x to 8x

`8x=-3\\`

Divide both sides by 8

`x=(-3)/(8)`

`x=-(3)/(8)` or
`x=-0.375`
