1. your leading coefficient has to be 1 (nothing before the x^2). If there is you have to divide that out before you start.
2. Move your constant (the number without any x attached) to the other side of the equation
3. take 1/2 of the b term (the one with the x attached) and then square it and then add it to both sides
4. Factor the left side
5. Set each factor equal to 0 and solve
Here is an example:
4x^2-24x+20=0
The first term is not a 1 so we have to divide it out by 4 first
x^2-6x+5=0
Move the 5 to the other side. It becomes negative.
x^2-6x=-5
Take 1/2 of 6 (3) then square it (9) and add it to both sides.
x^2-6x+9=-5+9
Factor the left side
(x-3)(x-3)=4
(x-3)^2=4
To solve you need to square root both sides
x-3=+/-
x-3=+/-2
x=3+2=5
x=3-2=1
Those would be your two answers.

Answer:
13,000,000+200,000+60,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: a) No Solution
b) Infinite Solutions (All Real Numbers)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
4(g + 8) = 7 + 4g
4g + 32 = 7 + 4g <em>distributed 4 into g + 8</em>
32 = 7 <em> subtracted 4g from both sides</em>
Since the statement is false because 32 ≠ 7, then there is NO SOLUTION
-4(-5h - 4) = 2(10h + 8)
20h + 16 = 20h + 16 <em>distributed</em>
16 = 16 <em>subtracted 20h from both sides</em>
Since the statement is true because 16 = 16, then there are INFINITE SOLUTIONS so x can be all real numbers.
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
<u>The expression is:</u> 6x + 5
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
Product means <u>multiplication</u>
Therefore, the product of x and 6 means that we will multiply x by 6
<u>This would give us:</u> 6x
Now, five more than the product means that we will <u>add</u> 5 to the product we just obtained
<u>This means that:</u>
<u>five more than the product of x and 6 is:</u>
6x + 5
Hope this helps :)
