Manipulating expressions is one of the first steps to solve quadratic equations. Because there are several methods to solve them, the form in which a quadratic is written may make one method easier than another. Practicing how to know what solving method works best for a particular equation saves us from having to buy an Acme Quadratic Equation Solver for an exorbitant amount of money.

The simplest way to solve a quadratic is by using a method called inspection. Inspection literally means to look at the problem and know the answer. It sounds kind of Zen. It's not necessary to be one with the universe to make this happen; just remember the basics of algebra.

Consider the equation x² = 49. Go-go-gadget-brain-waves! We close our eyes, turn on the yoga music, and let the answer float to us on the breeze. The solutions must be x = 7 and x = -7 because, when those numbers are squared, the result is 49. Thanks, universe!

A slightly more difficult example is x² = 5. The universe might take a bit longer to process this one, but it still sends the answer back without any work from us. Both and - equal five when they're squared, so they're the solutions to the equations. This is like ESP. How did we know that answer? We just knew. Spooky.

Now consider the problem x² – x = 12. Okay, universe, send the answer! Hello? Anyone there? Shoot, the universe is remaining silent on this one, so it's time to pull out the pencils.
