The final answer is
7x+6 To solve (find the roots of) the quadratic equation 7x+6 =0:
First, we'll attempt to factor this quadratic equation as a trinomial.
This polynomial has 2 terms. It must exactly three terms to be a trinomial.
Since this quadratic equation cannot be factored as a trinomial
we will not be able to solve it by factoring.
