Consider the equation x2 + 8x = 10. get into ax2 + bx+ c form find the following: a= b= c= show how to solve the equation by using the quadratic formula. round solutions to the nearest tenth if needed.

1)  To write the equation in the standard form  you need to take everything to the left side and multiply everything, if necessary, to get all whole integers:

This will be your standard form of the equation.
2) To find a, b, c you just need to remember that:
- a is a coefficient in front of x^2
- b is a coefficient in front of x
- c is a constant with no x.
So, in your rewritten equation  you have a = 1, b = 8, and c = -10
3) To solve the equation using quadratic formula, you need:
- find the Discriminant D, which is 
- if D < 0 there is no solution
- if D = 0 there is one solution 
- if D > 0 there are two solutions which are

4) Let's solve the equation:
- 
- 104 > 0 => there are 2 solutions
- 
5) So, this is your solution. Good luck!
