Learn how to solve quadratic equations problems step by step online. Solve the quadratic equation 3x^2-24x+-60=0. To find the roots of a polynomial of the form ax^2+bx+c we use the quadratic formula, where in this case a=3, b=-24 and c=-60. Then substitute the values of the coefficients of the equation in the quadratic formula: \displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}. Simplifying. To obtain the two solutions, divide the equation in two equations, one when \pm is positive (+), and another when \pm is negative (-). Subtract the values 24 and -36.
