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:
Equation: 10+x= 15 +0.5x
Time: 10 days
Amount: 20$
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Equation for Benito:</u>
<u>Equation for Tavon:</u>
<u>Since the sums equalize at some time, we get:</u>
- 10+x= 15 +0.5x
- x - 05x = 15- 10
- 0.5x = 5
- x= 5/0.5
- x= 10 days
After 10 days, Juan will owe both Benito and Tavon $20
Answer: 100 square units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Jernel has to figure out the area of her square garage.
She knows that one side of the garage is equal to the length of her rabbit pen.
Now, the length of the rabbit pen = 10 units
Then , the length of the garage will be 10 units
Now, Area of square = 
Hence, the area of the garage = 100 square units.
