Quadratic Equations How do I solve a quadratic equation?

There are different ways to solve a quadratic equation, the main ones that i'm thinking about right now are:
1) factor the equation as a product:
 ex:        x^2+ 4x + 3 =0
             (x+3) (x+1) = 0
              x=-3 and x=-1 are the solutions.
To find (x+p) and (x+q) you have to think that (p+q )have to be equal to the number that is multiplied by x, in my example it was 4 (3+1=4), (p times q) have to be equal to the last number of the quadratic equation, the one that is not multiplied by any x, that in my example is 3 (3 x 1= 3)

2) The other way to solve a quadratic function is by using a formula:
    given: ax^2 +bx +c=0
    x= (-b +/- <span>√(b^2 -</span> 4ac)) / 2a
    
 ex: 3x^2 + 4x -2=0
    x= (-4 +/- √16-4(3)(-2)) / 6= (-4 +/- √16+24)/6= (-4 +/- <span>√40) / 6
now there are 2 possibilities: x= (-4+</span><span>√40) /6
                                                        and
                                              x= (-4 - </span><span>√40) / 6
I hope the examples were clear enough also if i did't get very nice numbers. Look closely to the sings + and -, they are very important</span>

(3/5) cubed Please explain to me how you would do this

<h3>♫ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~Hello There!~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ♫</h3>

➷  It would be done in the same way it would if it was an integer ;

think of it as two separate parts

(3/5)^3 = 3/5 * 3/5 * 3/5

Calculate the top half, then the bottom half and put them together

3 * 3 * 3 = 27

5 * 5 * 5 = 125

Thus, your answer will be 27/125

<h3><u>✽</u></h3>

➶ Hope This Helps You!

➶ Good Luck (:

➶ Have A Great Day ^-^

1. I feel the need to explain things first before I write the numeric value. 
   Let x be the total number of students in the school. 25% of this value is given to be 35.
                        (0.25)x = 35
The value of x is 140. 75% of this value is the answer which is equal to 105.

2. Let y be the alternative schools. With this, the number of charter schools is 2x - 6 which is equal to 52 
                              2x - 6 = 52
The value of x is 29. Therefore, there are 29 charter schools.

Carl King is a toy assembler. He is paid $5.25 for every toy he assembles. What is Carl's total pay for a week in which he compl
sineoko [7]

Multiplication was invented to help you avoid the tedium of adding ...

... $5.25 + 5.25 + 5.25 + ... + 5.25 . . . . . a total of 207 terms

It lets us figure such a sum by computing 207 × $5.25 = $1,086.75

Carl's pay for the week will be $1086.75.
