Subtract 22: First, let's subtract 22 from both sides to set the equation to zero.x2+3x+21−22=0x2+3x−1=0
Factor or Use Quadratic Formula: Now, we'll try to factor the quadratic, but it doesn't factor nicely. So, we'll use the quadratic formula instead.The quadratic formula is x=2a−b±b2−4ac, where a=1, b=3, and c=−1.
Plug Values into Formula: Plug the values into the quadratic formula.x=2⋅1−3±32−4⋅1⋅(−1)x=2−3±9+4x=2−3±13
Find Solutions: So, the solutions are: x=2−3+13 and x=2−3−13
