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:
<em>x = 9</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form of equation of a line is expressed as y = mx+c
m is the slope
c is the y intercept
Note that the line does not have a slope and the x intercept of the line is a point where the line cuts the x axis. Hence the equation of the line will be expressed as x = c where c is the x intercept;
<em>From the graph, the x intercept =9. Hence the equation of the given line is x = 9</em>

Answer:
x = 8 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Put the known values into the equation and solve for x.
f(x) = 3x -1
24 = 3x -1 . . . . . use 24 for f(x)
25 = 3x . . . . . . . add 1 to both sides
25/3 = x . . . . . . divide both sides by 3
The input is x = 8 1/3.
