How do you solve quadritc equations

You can use the factoring process

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve a quadratic equation by factoring,

Put all terms on one side of the equal sign, leaving zero on the other side.

Factor.

Set each factor equal to zero.

Solve each of these equations.

Check by inserting your answer in the original equation.

Example 1

Solve x 2 – 6 x = 16.

Following the steps,

x 2 – 6 x = 16 becomes x 2 – 6 x – 16 = 0

Factor.

( x – 8)( x + 2) = 0

3 3 6, because in every triangle the longer side is always shorter than the sum of the other two
