In the words of one historian , Reconstruction represented a "Revolution half-accomplished . " Indeed, the period from the end of the Civil War to 1876 witnessed some radical societal changes within the states of the former Confederacy only to see those
X + 3 = 2x +5
-x -5 = -x - 5
x = -2
X²=3x+3
x²-3x-3=0. have to get 0 on right first
identify a,b,c. a is 1, b is -3, c is -3
now plug in to the quadratic formula...
x = -b±√(b²-4*a*c) / 2a
x = -(-3) ± √((-3)²-4*1*(-3)) / (2*1)
x= 3 ± √(9- -12) / 2
x=( 3 ± √21) /2
11/18 is the correct answer:))
