It is not necessary to actually find the solutions to a quadratic equation to determine the sum of its solutions.
First, get the equation in standard form 
by subtracting 
from both sides:
If a quadratic equation has two distinct solutions, which we are given here, their sum is the linear coefficient 
. In this problem, 
, making

The Intermediate Value Theorem (IVT) states that if the graph of a function 
is continuous on an interval 
, and 
and 
differ in sign, then 
has a zero on
