5x2 - 3x - 7 = 0 where a = 5, b = -3, and c = -7
x = [-b ± √b2 - 4(a)(c)]/2a
x = [-(-3) ± √(-3)2 - 4(5)(-7)]/2(5)
x = [3 ± √(9 + 140)]/10
x = (3 ± √149)/10
x = (3 ± 12.21)/10
x = (3 + 12.21)/10 = 15.21/10 = 1.521 or
x = (3 - 12.21)/10 = -9.21/10 = -0.921
The EXACT answer would be x = 3/10 ± √149 /10
Note: 149 is not divisable by a perfect square
Solve using the quadratic formula
C= pi * D This is the formula for circumference.
Not sure about the original formula, but one that works is b = a/(2c + 1)
d=a-2bc
(a+d)/2b=c
You can't solve a formula with no equals sign

You can solve for resistance using the formula ( R = \frac{V^2}{P} ), where R is the resistance, V is the voltage, and P is the power. By rearranging the formula, you can solve for resistance by dividing the square of the voltage by the power.
c= a-2b
If you can't factor it easily, use the quadratic formula.
a-2b=c
d=a-2bc
(a+d)/2b=c
