Introduction

What is an equation?

Pre-Requisites:

Basic knowledge on polynomials.

Activity:

Write down a quadratic equation and observe that it will have 2 possible values of x for which the equation satisfies.

Real Life Question:

Given that a triangular plot whose sides are x, x+2 but area is 7.5, then write the quadratic equation in terms of x for solving the length.
