Devin* Trial and error - only works in the simplest of cases* Factoring - if the polynomial is easy to factor
* Completing the square - this always works, but it's easier if there is no "a" term (for the equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0), and the "b" term is even
* The quadratic equation - this is the most general method, which always works.

What are the first four steps in the derivation of the quadratic formula of ax2 plus bx plus c equals 0?
The first step is to show an example of the quadratic equation in question because the formula given is only the general form of a quadratic equation.
Four steps to the elimination method?
There are four steps in an algebraic elimination problem. These steps are: to find a variable with equal or opposite coefficients, if equal then subtract the equations but if opposite then add, solve one variable equation left, and then substitute known variable into other equation and solve. hi
How do you factor any equation?
That depends on the equation; you need to give some examples of what you want factored. There are four steps to solving an equation. Should any other factors be accounted for when solving an equation? Should any factors be accounted for when explaining how to solve an equation?
What is it called when a when you get a variable alone on one side of an equation or inequality in order to solve the equation or inequality?
each of the four regions created on the coordinate plane by the x- and y-axes.
Solve the equation for two less than four times the number is equal to two more than three times the same number?
