...you know a quadratic equation only seems hard because the variable is squared, which really only means that it's that number times itself...

....it really isn't that difficult. For instance:

3n2 + 5n +1 = 43

(bear with me, since I can't put that "2" as a "squared symbol")

...really means "3 times n times n [again] plus 5 times n plus 1, which will equal 43 . The "3" and the "5" are called coefficients, which are numbers in front of any variable (in this case, the n - that n is a variable, or an unknown quantity...well, for the time-being anyway) You are trying to find the value of n.
