Solution

Let's rewrite each equation to the standard form ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0, and then identify the coefficients aa, bb, and cc.

  1. Original equation: 18x2+9x=718x^2 + 9x = 7

    Standard form: 18x2+9x7=018x^2 + 9x - 7 = 0 Coefficients: a=18a = 18, b=9b = 9, c=7c = -7

  2. Original equation: y2+15y=8yy^2 + 15y = 8y

    Standard form: y2+7y=0y^2 + 7y = 0 Coefficients: a=1a = 1, b=7b = 7, c=0c = 0

  3. Original equation: 20x2=x20 - x^2 = x

    Standard form: x2x+20=0-x^2 - x + 20 = 0 Coefficients: a=1a = -1, b=1b = -1, c=20c = 20

  4. Original equation: 0=p27p0 = p^2 - 7p

    Standard form: p27p=0p^2 - 7p = 0 Coefficients: a=1a = 1, b=7b = -7, c=0c = 0

  5. Original equation: m2=16m^2 = 16

    Standard form: m216=0m^2 - 16 = 0 Coefficients: a=1a = 1, b=0b = 0, c=16c = -16

  6. Original equation: 25t2+4=0-25t^2 + 4 = 0

    Standard form: 25t2+4=0-25t^2 + 4 = 0 Coefficients: a=25a = -25, b=0b = 0, c=4c = 4

  7. Original equation: (x+3)2=1(x+3)^2 = 1

    Standard form: x2+6x+8=0x^2 + 6x + 8 = 0 Coefficients: a=1a = 1, b=6b = 6, c=8c = 8

  8. Original equation: 3a=a2+94-3a = a^2 + \frac{9}{4}

    Standard form: a2+3a+94=0a^2 + 3a + \frac{9}{4} = 0 Coefficients: a=1a = 1, b=3b = 3, c=94c = \frac{9}{4}

  9. Original equation: n24=5(n3)n^2 - 4 = 5(n - 3)

    Standard form: n29n+11=0n^2 - 9n + 11 = 0 Coefficients: a=1a = 1, b=9b = -9, c=11c = 11

  10. Original equation: 5j(j3)4=j65j(j - 3) - 4 = j - 6

    Standard form: 5j216j2=05j^2 - 16j - 2 = 0 Coefficients: a=5a = 5, b=16b = -16, c=2c = -2
