Solving Equation With Negative Numbers

Solving Quadratic Equations

A quadratic equation takes the form:

ax² + bx + c = 0

Let's first explain that a,b and c can be any number depending on what the question dictates. x is also a number, which when inserted into the equation, proves the equation to be true. It is x which we are trying to find out to obtain the final answer to solve the equation.

plus 

b multipliedby x 

plus 

c 

is equal to 0
