Question

Solve this quadratic equation. 6x2 - 2x = 7

Answer 1

Answer:

x₁ = (1 + √43)/6

x₂ = (1 - √43)/6

Step-by-step explanation:

6x² - 2x = 7

6x² - 2x - 7 = 0

Formula

ax² + bx + c = 0

a = 6 ; b = - 2 ; c = - 7

x₁/₂ = [-b ± √(b²- 4ac)]/2a

x₁/₂ = (2 ± √4 + 4×6×-7)/12

x₁/₂ = (2 ± √172)/12

x₁/₂ = (2 ± 2√43)/12

x₁/₂ = 2(1 ± √43)/12

x₁/₂ = (1 ± √43)/6

x₁ = (1 + √43)/6

x₂ = (1 - √43)/6
