Asked by Rachelle

What do you do when you have a quadratic equation such as x^2=2x-5, and there is no c value? Should you leave c as zero? one? Or just omit c entirely?
Answered by drwls
The equation you wrote can be rewritten in the standard form
x^2 -2x +5 = 0
The value of "c" in this case is +5

Answered by drwls
