ANSWER
to the nearest hundredth.
EXPLANATION
We have the equation,

Which can be rewritten as

The question demands the use of the quadratic formula.
Comparing this to the general quadratic equation;


The quadratic formula is given by;

We now substitute all the values in to the formula;

We simplify to obtain;


We now split the plus or minus sign to obtain;

This implies that;

Or

This will evaluate to;

Hence, the positive solution rounded to the nearest hundredth is

- 3 + 3x = 2x – 13
Bring -3 to the right side of the equation by adding 3 to both sides
(- 3 + 3) + 3x = 2x – 13 + 3
0 + 3x = 2x - 10
3x = 2x - 10
Bring 2x to the other side by subtracting 2x to both sides
3x - 2x = 2x - 2x - 10
x = -10
Check:
-3 + 3(-10) = 2(-10) - 13
-3 + (-30) = -20 - 13
-33 = -33
