You have come to the correct place if you are looking to solve the quadratic equation negative 30x squared minus 61x minus 17 equals 0, also known as -30x² - 61x - 17 = 0. Below, we walk you through how to find the answer.
To find the two possible answers to -30x^2 - 61x - 17 = 0, we will start by rewriting the equation in factored form. Then, we will create two separate equations that we can use to solve -30x² - 61x - 17 = 0.
Below is negative 30x squared minus 61x minus 17 in factored form. As you can see, -30x² - 61x - 17 has been grouped into two sets of parentheses.
-(3x + 1)(10x + 17)
Next, we set each set of parentheses equal to 0 and solve for x to get the two answers to -30x^2 - 61x - 17 = 0.
(3x + 1) = 0
x1 = -1/3
(10x + 17) = 0
x2 = -1 7/10
