Solve -b/a = x1 x

Evaluate

- \frac{b}{a} = x \times 1 \times x

Multiply the terms

More Steps

- \frac{b}{a} = x^{2}

Swap the sides of the equation

x^{2} = - \frac{b}{a}

Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots

x = \pm - \frac{b}{a}

Simplify the expression

More Steps

x = \pm \frac{- ab}{∣ a ∣}

Solution

x = \frac{- ab}{∣ a ∣} x = - \frac{- ab}{∣ a ∣}
