Which of the following is a quadratic equation, even though it has terms involving the variable on both sides?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: x^2+4x=3x+7
In option B, bringing all terms to one side gives \(x^2+4x-3x-7=0\), or \(x^2+x-7=0\). Its highest power is 2, so it is quadratic. Option A is linear. Exam tip: first rewrite the equation as \(ax^2+bx+c=0\).
