Solve each equation for x

1. 2x² - 5x + 1 = -1 7. x² + x - 1 = 1
2x² - 5x + 2 = 0 x² + x - 2 = 0
(x - 2) (2x - 1) = 0 (x + 2) (x - 1) = 0
x = 2 , 1/2 x = -2 , 1

2. -2x² + 13x - 5 = 1 8. x² + 7x - 7 = 1
-2x² + 13x - 6 = 0 x² + 7x - 8 = 0
(x - 6) (2x - 1) = 0 (x + 8) (x - 1) = 0
x = 6 , 1/2 x = -8 , 1

3. 2x² + 7x + 1 = -5 9. -x² - 8x + 4 = -5
2x² + 7x + 6 = 0 -x² - 8x + 9 = 0
(2x + 3) (x + 2) = 0 -(x - 1) (x + 9) = 0
x = -1 1/2, -2 x = 1 , -9

4. -2x² - 11x + 7 = -14 10. -2x² + x + 7 = -21

-2x² - 11x + 21 = 0 -2x² + x + 28 = 0
-(2x - 3) (x + 7) = 0 -(2x + 7) (x - 4) = 0
x = 1 1/2, -7 x = -3 1/2, 4

5. -2x² + 9x - 6 = 1 11. 4x² + 2x - 2 = 4

-2x² + 9x - 7 = 0 4x² + 2x - 6 = 0
(2x - 7) (x - 1) = 0 (2x - 2) (2x + 3) = 0
x = 3 1/2, 1 x = 1 , -1 1/2

6. -2x² + 10x + 10 = -38 12. x² - x - 1 = 1

-2x² + 10x + 48 = 0 x² - x - 2 = 0
(2x + 6) (x - 8) = 0 (x + 1) (x - 2) = 0
x = -3 , 8 x = -1 , 2
