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:
8 Minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
since we are trying to find how many minutes have passed we first need to find how much substance was used during the time. we can do that by subtracting the leftover substance from the amount we started with.
666-562 = 104
Now that we know how much substance was used we can then use our conversion rate (13 per minute) and find how many minutes have passed by dividing.
104 / 13 = 8
Long term goalsif you think about it, you're doing something for your future self, basically. i hope this helps you
