This week I learned about a quadratic formula and I learned about the square method this formula helps you find the answer to questions that would otherwise be hard to solve for my example I solved an equation using the box method what I did first was I took the first number and the last number of the equation and multiplied them together then with the sum that I go I looked at what 2 numbers could be multiplied by each other to get that sum but also what 2 numbers could be added or subtracted to get the middle number and from there I just looked at factors to help me with the box and that was it
