B & D

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula can be used to solve for x for any quadratic. Recall a quadratic is any function whose highest exponent known as degree is 2. Looking at the answer selections, A has one term with exponent 3. This isn't possible in the formula. Looking at answer C, the term with exponent 2 has the same coefficient on each side of the equal sign. When it is rearranged these will cancel out no exponent of 2 will be in the equation anymore. Only B & D work after being rearranged and simplified
