To solve for a variable, you need to get it (x) by itself.
2x² - 4x + 5 = 6 Subtract 6 from both sides
2x² - 4x - 1 = 0 Plug this into the Quadratic Formula
a = 2 , b = -4 , c = -1
x =

Plug in your values
x =

Simplify
x =

Simplify
x =

Simplify by removing a 2 from every term
x =

Simplify by taking the fraction apart
x =

Change

Answer:
3 newtons to the left
Step-by-step explanation
since the arrows are pointing towards each other you have to subtract
5-2=3
Since five is the greatest number it will be pushing to the left
4/6 = 14/21
When using cross product always multiply the left fractions numerator times the right side fractions denominator and the left side fractions denominator times the right side fractions numerator
4×21 = 6×14
84=84
They are equivalent because they both equal 84
Hope this helps you out . Of solving for k then just set it equal to zero
