Jeeez! Your freedom. Gfg-it!
From Will's formula:
x + .65x + .02x = 100
x + x(.65 + .02) = 100
x + x * .67 = 100
x (1 + .67) = 100 -> x = 100 / 1.67 = 59.88
normalize it:
x * 1.67 - 100 = 0
standard form: ax + b = 0 1st order, non-quadratic, on a graph, it
would give a straight line of some slope.
quadratic looks different:
