To solve for a variable, you need to get it (x) by itself.
2x² - 4x + 5 = 6 Subtract 6 from both sides
2x² - 4x - 1 = 0 Plug this into the Quadratic Formula
a = 2 , b = -4 , c = -1
x =

The last choice is the correct one
AB = 9 cm
BC = 6cm
CD = 7 cm
AE = 6 cm
3BC = AB
3ED = AE
AB = AE
BC ED
⁹/₃ = ⁶/ₓ
3 · 6 = 9 · x
18 = 9x
9 9
2 = x
ED = 2 cm
Answer:
B: x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because x=-2 is where the parabola is split into two equal halves.
