quadratic formula:
x = <u>-b ± √(b² - 4ac)</u>
2a
7x² - x = 7
subtract 7 from both sides:
7x² - x - 7 = 0
plug values into the quadratic formula:
x = <u>-(-1) ± √((-1)²- 4(7)(-7))</u>
2(7)
simplify:
x = <u>1 ± √(197)</u>
14
The independent variable is the one you change to get your dependent variable. in this case, the independent would be the number of quarters you have
The answer is b good luck!!!
