𝑥2 + 3𝑥 – 15 = 0 x 3x -15
Solutions:
a. The equation 3𝑥2 + 2𝑥 = 9 is quadratic but not in standard form. The
standard form is 3𝑥2 + 2𝑥 – 9 = 0 with 𝑎 = 3, 𝑏 = 2 and 𝑐 = −9
b. To check if the equation is quadratic, multiply the left side of the equation
and simplify by combining similar terms.
(𝑥 − 5) (2𝑥 + 3) = 7
2𝑥2 – 7𝑥 – 15 = 7
2𝑥2 – 7𝑥 – 8 = 0
Since the degree of the equation is 2, it is a quadratic equation. The
value of 𝑎 = 2, 𝑏 = −7, and 𝑐 = −8.
c. To check if the equation is quadratic, simplify the left side of the equation
then combine similar terms.
3. (𝑥 + 6)2 = 12x
4. (5𝑥 + 4) (5𝑥 – 4) = 0
Solution:
Volume of the Rectangular Prism = Length x Width x Height
or 𝑉 = 𝑙𝑤ℎ
18 = (3w)(w)(3)
18 = 9w2

19w – 18 = 0
Representation of unknown:
Let x – be the width
Let x + 6 – be the length
Solution:
A = length x width or A = L x W
315 =

x(x+6) x + 6x
= 315
x2 + 6x – 315 = 0
Representation of unknown:
Solution:
1𝑠𝑡 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 ⋅ 2𝑛𝑑 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 = 48
(16 − 𝑥) = 48
16𝑥 − 𝑥2 = 48
−𝑥2 + 16𝑥 − 48 = 0
Therefore, the quadratic equation for the described numbers is −𝑥2 + 16𝑥 − 48 = 0
Representation of unknown:
Let x be the 1st even number
Let 𝑥 + 2 be the 2nd even number
Solution:
1𝑠𝑡 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 ⋅ 2𝑛𝑑 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 = 288
(𝑥 + 2) = 288
𝑥2 + 2𝑥 = 288
2
𝑥 + 2𝑥 − 288 = 0
Therefore, the quadratic equation for the described numbers is 𝑥2 + 2𝑥 − 288 = 0
