Answer: So the trick I was taught to use was PEMDAS which stands for Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction. You solve the parenthesis first, followed by exponents if there are any. Multiplication and division are equal. So if there's multiplication and division in the problem, you solve the one closest to the left or start of the equation first. The same rules apply for addition and subtraction. They are both equal so you solve the first one first, even if the subtraction is before the addition.

Answer:
Simplifying
lx2 + mx + n = 0
Solving
lx2 + mx + n = 0
Solving for variable 'l'.
Move all terms containing l to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-1mx' to each side of the equation.
lx2 + mx + -1mx + n = 0 + -1mx
Combine like terms: mx + -1mx = 0
lx2 + 0 + n = 0 + -1mx
lx2 + n = 0 + -1mx
Remove the zero:
lx2 + n = -1mx
Add '-1n' to each side of the equation.
lx2 + n + -1n = -1mx + -1n
Combine like terms: n + -1n = 0
lx2 + 0 = -1mx + -1n
lx2 = -1mx + -1n
Divide each side by 'x2'.
l = -1mx-1 + -1nx-2
Simplifying
l = -1mx-1 + -1nx-2
