From the given quadratic, we have a=1, b=-1, and c=-6. We substitute these values into the quadratic formula, x=-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac)/2a, giving us x=-1+-sqrt(-1^2-41-6)/2*1. This simplifies to x=1+-...

Rearrange the equation so that both x's are on the same side of the equation, making sure that you change the sign of the number you bring across: 5x - 3x = 7 + 6 Now simplify: 2x = 13 Divide by 2: x = 13...
