Question

anonymous · Answer

Use the quadratic equation on one like this.

amistre64 · Answer

10-3 = 7.... which leads me to believe this can be done easilier :)

anonymous · Answer

maybe it factors nicely?

anonymous · Answer

ah, (2x-1)(3x+5)

amistre64 · Answer

6(-5) = -30

10(-3) = -30; 10-3=+7

(x+10/6) (x-3/6) ; simplify

amistre64 · Answer

(x+5/3) (x-1/2) ; if its a fraction stick the bottom in front

x_1,_2 = ---------- = -20/12 and 6/12
                     12

amistre64 · Answer

to find out what x =; we can stop at the fraction part and study the factors

jhonyy9 · Answer

what you can simplifie again

amistre64 · Answer

(x+5/3) (x-1/2) = 0 means that either x+5/3 = 0 or x-1/2 = 0

solve each one for 0

anonymous · Answer

amistre64 · Answer

x = -5/3  or  x=1/2  very good

anonymous · Answer

Thank you!
