need help with algebra, please help me, i beg you

hey guys

I have a exam on monday on maths and i am having trouble with quadradic equations.

the 2 questions i am having trouble with are as follows:

L/2 = x +60 how do i turn this into a quadradic equation??

i know the formula for quadradic equations but i can't put 2 and 2 together and i would greatly appreciated if someone could just show me how to do it.


also another question is


-33.34 + L = 0.8334 x L


how do i find out what L is?

For the first, what is L and x? Because it's not a quadratic equation.

for the second
-33.34 + L = 0.8334 x L

Assuming x is multiplication, subtract L from both sides.

-33.34 = .8334*L - L = L*(.8334 - 1) (by factoring L)

So divide both sides by .8334-1 yields your answer

thank you kind sir.
