Algebra-1

To solve the equation  , we will first rearrange it into standard form.

Step 1: Rearrange the Equation

Start by moving -2 to the left side:

 

Step 2: Multiply by -1

To make the leading coefficient positive, we can multiply the entire equation by -1:

 

Step 3: Use the Quadratic Formula

We will use the quadratic formula, which is given by:

For our equation, we have:

(a = 1)(b = -2)(c = 2)

 

Step 4: Calculate the Discriminant

Now we calculate the discriminant
