Use the quadratic formula: (-b +/- sqrt(b2 - 4ac))/2a
in your example a = 9, b = 4 and c = 5 giving:
(-4 +/- (sqrt (16 - 180))/18
This has no real solution as it involves the square root of a negative number.
If you've got your signs wrong possible solutions are:
(9x + 5)(x - 1) = 9x2 - 4x - 5
or ((9x - 5)(x + 1) = 9x2 + 4x - 5

4x+2=2x-102x=-12 x=-6
What is the answer to 5x - 2 4x plus 4?
If your equation is 5x-2=4x+4 Then this is how you solve it... 5x-2=4x+4 5x-2+2=4x+4+2 5x=4x+6 5x-4x=4x-4x+6 x=6 Your x=6
9x-3x minus 12 plus 10 equals 2x plus 18 plus 4x-20?
this is the same as 6x - 2 = 6x - 2! There are an infinite number of possibilities for "x".
