2. In solving quadratic equation that is not written in standard form,
transform the equation in the standard form ax2 + bx + c = 0 where a,
b, and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0 and then, solve the equation
using any method in solving quadratic equation (extracting square
roots, factoring, completing the square, or quadratic formula).
