A quadratic equation is one in which the highest exponent of x is 2.

is quadratic; the highest exponent is 2.
x³-3x²+1=0 is NOT quadratic. The highest exponent of x is 3, not 2.
5x-7=0 is NOT quadratic. The highest exponent of x is 1, not 2.
x²+3x-5=0 is quadratic; the highest exponent of x is 2.
x-5=9x+7 is NOT quadratic. The highest exponent of x is 1, not 2.
x²-x=3x+7 is quadratic; the highest exponent of x is 2.

</span></span>Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
<span><span>2<span>(<span><span>3x</span>−4</span>)</span></span>=<span><span>3x</span>+1</span></span><span>Simplify: (Show steps)</span><span><span><span>6x</span>−8</span>=<span><span>3x</span>+1
</span></span>Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.
<span><span><span><span>6x</span>−8</span>−<span>3x</span></span>=<span><span><span>3x</span>+1</span>−<span>3x</span></span></span><span><span><span>3x</span>−8</span>=1
</span>Step 3: Add 8 to both sides.
<span><span><span><span>3x</span>−8</span>+8</span>=<span>1+8</span></span><span><span>3x</span>=9
</span>Step 4: Divide both sides by 3.

Then the answer is 17 minus 8 times the square root of 2, or 5.68629
10% of 18 tonnes = 1.8 tonnes
30% of 18 tonnes = 5.4 tonnes
18 - 5.4 tonnes = 12.6 tonnes
