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.

Ypu would subtract Y from the other points Y
Then you would subtract X from the ither points X.
Then you would put the Y value over the X
Then simiplify
Answer:
Adult: 50 tickets
Child: 34 tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a be the amount of adult tickets
Let c be the amount of child tickets
Equation:
a + c = 84
14a + 9c = 1,006
Step 1: Multiply a + c = 84 with -9, to canceled c.
-9 (a + c = 84) → -9a - 9c = -756
14a + 9c = 1006 → 14a + 9c = 1006
Step 2: Combined the 2 equation together, and solved it.
-9a - 9c = -756
<u>14a + 9c = 1006</u>
<u> 5a</u> = <u>250</u>
5 5
a = 50
Step 3: Plug 50 into the one of the equation, and solved it.
a + c = 84 → 50 + c = 84
<u>-50 -50</u>
c = 34
Answer: Adult tickets (a) = 50 and Child tickets (c) = 34
To check the answer plug the two number into the equation ( Make sure to add 50 for a and 34 for c).
