Subtract 32 to both sides to the equation becomes -5x^2 + 7x + 9 = 0.
To solve this equation, we can use the quadratic formula. The quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0 x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a) x = [ -7 ± √(7^2 - 4(-5)(9)) ] / ( 2(-5) ) x = [ -7 ± √(49 - (-180) ) ] / ( -10 ) x = [ -7 ± √(229) ] / ( -10) x = [ -7 ± sqrt(229) ] / ( -10 ) x = 7/10 ± -sqrt(229)/10 The answers are 7/10 + sqrt(229)/10 and 7/10 - sqrt(229)/10.
