Standard 8: Solve quadratic equations with no linear term
Find all solutions to the following problems. Clearly show your steps!
(2 x + 1)( x - 4) = 4 - 7x B.
2x 2 - 8x + x - 4 = 4 - 7x 1 2 4
x + 2 = x2

Standard 10: Solve radical equations
Solve these equations for x, or say if there is no solution. Justify your
answer.
6x + 1 + 17 = 24 B. 29 - 7x = - 8
6x + 1 = 7
No solution; a square root of any
( 6 x + 1) 2 = (7) 2
A. number must be greater than or
6x + 1 = 49
equal to zero.
6x = 48
x =8
