A lil about myself, I am not a math person, I would rather write a 6 page essay than have to do algebra. I love the outdoors also, being cooped up inside just isnt natural :)
How do I simplify this equation, the ^2 means the parenthesis are squared -3(4x-9)^2+5= -31?
Do you square the parenthesis first or do you distribute first, I need to simplify this answer, so I believe the next step would be to put into form -3(4x-9)^2+36=0. What do I do next?
