Q: After you have eliminated all the radicals from the problem, move all the terms to one side of the equation and combine like terms. Returning to the working sample problem, this looks as follows: x1=x214x+49{\displaystyle x-1=x^{2}-14x+49} 0=x215x+50{\displaystyle 0=x^{2}-15x+50} In most cases, this step will create a quadratic polynomial. This is an equation that contains an x2{\displaystyle x^{2}} term as its highest variable. If the original radical was something other than a square root (such as a cube root or fourth root, for example), then you may have a more difficult problem. We will focus on the quadratic for this article. You may be able to solve the quadratic equation by factoring, or you can go directly to the quadratic formula. In this case, the sample problem, 0=x215x+50{\displaystyle 0=x^{2}-15x+50}, can be factored into the two binomial factors of (x5){\displaystyle (x-5)} and (x10){\displaystyle (x-10)}. Factoring the quadratic equation in this case suggests two possible solutions. Because the quadratic equation is equal to 0, you find the solutions by setting each factor equal to 0 and then solve. In the working problem, the two factors are (x5){\displaystyle (x-5)} and (x10){\displaystyle (x-10)}. Set each of these equal to 0 to get the solutions x=5{\displaystyle x=5} and x=10{\displaystyle x=10}. With another problem, you may not be able to factor and would then have to use the quadratic formula to find the solution.
A: Consolidate and combine like terms. Solve the equation. Determine your solutions.

Q: As soon as you finish speaking with Cheshire Cat, start walking up the sloping path to the left of the creek. It is located at the top of the platform near the ledge, and looks like a glowing silver house. You should see it directly in front of you. Press the Action button to grab the memory.
A: Head up the path to your left. Grab the first memory.

Q: Put it into a medium-sized bowl. Set it aside while you prepare your pasta.
A: Place the avocado, garlic, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and pepper into a food processor or blender. Process the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Scrape the sauce out of the blender or food processor with a spatula. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap to prevent the avocado from turning brown too quickly.

Q: Matched grip position is the starting position in which you hold your drumsticks. Grip the stick by hooking your pointer finger around the stick, and grasping the stick with the pad of your thumb. You should be holding the stick approximately 4 inches from the bottom of the stick. Then wrap your other three fingers around the drumstick. The drumstick should be gently (but securely) resting in the palm of your hand. Normally when drumming, your hands (and sticks) are in a horizontal position. For the spin, turn your hand so you're holding the drumstick vertically. Remain holding the drumstick with your pointer finger and thumb. Put your middle, ring, and pinky fingers behind the stick while still keeping the drumstick vertical.
A:
Hold the stick in matched grip position. Position your hand vertically. Pinch the stick and release your other fingers.
