Determine the values of
a, b, and c for
the quadratic equation: 
4x² – 8x = 3

• a = 4, b = -8, c = 3
• a = 4, b =-8, c =-3
• a = 4, b = 8, c = 3
• a = 4, b = 8, c = -3

What should you do first in solving this equation?

x² + 6x - 13 = 3

• Factor

• Write down: a = 1, b = 6, c = -13

• Subtract 3 from both sides.

• Add 3 to both sides.
