2x2 + 5x - 3 = 0 Since the highest power of 'x' in this expression is '2', there are two answers, i.e. two different values for 'x' that will make this statement true. In this particular case, the answers are ( x = 1/2 ) and ( x = -3 ). Ordinarily, an algebra quiz would ask you to find the answers. But the teacher might go a bit farther and ask for the sum of the answers. In this case, the sum is (1/2) + (-3) = -(2 and 1/2).
