but he specifically asked for quaddy... and it's a good fallback if the factoring don't work out
yeah, i know. you can figure out what x is by factoring though so it amounts to the same thing. you're supposed to do the quadratic equation, i know, but the factoring method's always worked for me. and it saves you the trouble of having to memorize the quadratic formula.

My teacher won't let me use the quadratic formula. She makes us factor it all.
That might be 'cause I'm not supposed to know it yet, though.

No it's not.
Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf
Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...
Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...
So glad you could stay
Forever
He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand
You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..
So glad you could stay
Forever

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

factoring you have to like, think and figure it out.
Quadratic formula you just have to calculate.
I guess it depends where your strengths are.
unless you're in level one. Then go for the factoring.
