To form the quadratic equation, form II equations; (x-([tex] \frac{-5}{4} [/tex])(x-8)=0 ([tex] x+\frac{5}{4} )[/tex](x-8)=0 Open the brackets; x(x-8)+[tex] \frac{5}{4} [/tex](x-8)=0 [tex] x^{2} -8x+ \frac{5}{4} x-10=0[/tex] [tex] x^{2} - \frac{32}{4} x- \frac{5}{4} x-10=0[/tex] [tex] x^{2} - \frac{27}{4} x-10=0[/tex] This can be simplified to; [tex] 4x^{2} -27x-40=0[/tex]
