Question

What are the solution(s) of `2x^2 - 2x = 1`?

Answer 1

The approximate values are 1.37 and -0.37

Explanation:

Rewrite your original equation by moving the constant to the left side of the equation:
`2x^2 - 2x - 1 = 0`

Here you have a typical `ax^2 + bx + c = 0` equation.
Use the ABC-formula to solve the equation.

`(-b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/(2a)`

Fill in 2 as a, -2 as b and -1 as c.
