OK, if you're going to use the quadratic formula then...

2y^2 -10y -7 = 0

so

a = 2
b = -10
c = -7

replace the a,b and c values in the quadratic formule and you'll get the value of Y

Makes sense?

@drymer Why are you making is equal to 0 when the problem is 2y^2[b]=[/b]10y -7

@ImRileyTheDog To get the a, b and c values for the quadratic formula...

@drymer But it already as an equal sign in the equation, you just get rid of it and throw it at the end then equal 0? I don't recall doing that for some reason.

@drymer

(in this case y instead of x of course)
