2x^2 – 9x = 35
Solve the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation in standard form can be written as

comparing with the standard equation  ,

we observe that

putting the values of a, b and c in the quardatic formula

x=(-b±)÷2a

x=(-(-9)±)÷2(2)

x=(9±)÷4

x=(9±)÷4

x=(9±19)÷4

x=(9+19)÷4  or x=(9-19)÷4

x=28÷4     or x=-10÷4

x=7   or x=-5÷2

for this case we have the following expression:

to solve, we rewrite the expression as:

we apply double c and we have:

thus, the quotient is 48.

so, patel found a wrong ratio and the multiplication was incorrect.
