Isolate "x" on one side of the algebraic equation by dividing the number that appears on the same side of the equation as part of "x." For example, in the equation "12x = 24", rewrite the equation as "x = 24 / 12" and solve for "x." The solution is "x = 2."
The quadratic formula helps us solve any quadratic equation. First, we bring the equation to the form ax²+bx+c=0, where a, b, and c are coefficients. Then, we plug these coefficients in the formula: (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a) .
