The correct order of steps for solving the equation using the quadratic formula is:
1. Identify the values of a, b, and c in the quadratic equation.
2. Plug the values of a, b, and c into the quadratic formula: x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / (2a)
3. Simplify the expression under the square root: √(b^2 - 4ac)
4. Calculate the two possible solutions for x by plugging the simplified expression into the quadratic formula.
5. Simplify and evaluate the two possible solutions for x.
