x= (2+-sqrt((-2)^2-4(2)(-1)))/(2(2)x=2±(2)24(2)(1)2(2)

Explanation:

The standard form of a quadratic equation is
color(white)("XXX")color(red)(a)^2+color(blue)(b)x+color(green)(c)=0XXXa2+bx+c=0
and for this standard form the quadratic formula is
color(white)("XXX")x=(-color(blue)(b)+-sqrt(color(blue)(b)^2-4color(red)(a)color(green)(c)))/(2color(red)(a))XXXx=b±b24ac2a

2x^2-2x=12x22x=1
can be converted into the standard form as
color(white)("XXX")color(red)((2))x^2+color(blue)((-2))x+color(green)((-1))=0XXX(2)x2+(2)x+(1)=0
