- 2*x  - 3*x  + 18 = 0
$$- 2 x^{3} - 3 x^{2} + 18 = 0$$
Vieta's Theorem
rewrite the equation
$$- 2 x^{3} - 3 x^{2} + 18 = 0$$
of
$$a x^{3} + b x^{2} + c x + d = 0$$
as reduced cubic equation
$$x^{3} + \frac{b x^{2}}{a} + \frac{c x}{a} + \frac{d}{a} = 0$$
$$x^{3} + \frac{3 x^{2}}{2} - 9 = 0$$
$$p x^{2} + x^{3} + q x + v = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = \frac{3}{2}$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = 0$$
$$v = \frac{d}{a}$$
$$v = -9$$
Vieta Formulas
$$x_{1} + x_{2} + x_{3} = - p$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} + x_{1} x_{3} + x_{2} x_{3} = q$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} x_{3} = v$$
$$x_{1} + x_{2} + x_{3} = - \frac{3}{2}$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} + x_{1} x_{3} + x_{2} x_{3} = 0$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} x_{3} = -9$$
