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.

It would be J. This is because the opposite of -3.5 would be 3.5 and the absolute value is just a positive integer or positive number so that would be 3.5 as well so its J

Step-by-step explanation:
You never specified if these had to be simplified or turned into a fraction, so I just simplified them. That's about it.
I hope this helps :)
Answer:
3) 1 5/6 mi
4) a. 4 cm, 6 ft
b. 6.4 cm, 9.6 ft
c. same as part a
Step-by-step explanation:
3) Each of the given distances appears twice in the sum of side measures that is the perimeter. Hence by walking the perimeter twice, Kyle walks each of the given distances 4 times. His total walk is ...
4×1/3 + 4×1/8 = 4/3 + 4/8
= 1 1/3 + 1/2 = 1 2/6 + 3/6
= 1 5/6 . . . . . miles
___
4) Since the figure is rectilinear (all angles are right angles, and all sides are straight lines), the sum of partial dimensions in one direction is equal to the whole dimension in that direction.
a. 8 cm = 4 cm + x
8 cm - 4 cm = x = 4 cm
The distance in the room is ...
(4 cm)×(1.5 ft/cm) = 6 ft
b. 10.3 cm = 3.9 cm + y
10.3 cm - 3.9 cm = y = 6.4 cm
The distance in the room is ...
(6.4 cm)×(1.5 ft/cm) = 9.6 ft
c. The answer to part b was obtained in the same way as the answer to part a. The unknown dimension is the difference of given dimensions. The actual length in the room is the model length multiplied by the inverse of the scale factor.
That would be written as:
And the step-by-step equation would be:
→ we take the 2 to the right side of the equation and do the IO*
→we solve for 
→ final answer
*Ps - IO is not an existing term and stands for inverse operation. In this case, because when we take to 2 to the right side of the equation (the 2 is a power) it'll have to turn into a square root (because exponents and roots are inverse operations)
