Question

what are the solutions to the equation 2x 2 +9x=5
(btw its supposed to be 2x squared)

Answer 1

solve for x

Answer 2

2+11x=5

Answer 3

x = 5/13

Answer 4

11-5
then 2/-6
then its -3 for x

Answer 5

is this correct

Answer 6

Hi maddy, best to write in proper form first,

\[2x^{2} +9x = 5\]
\[2x^{2}+9x-5 = 0\]
Now attempt to factor:
\[(2x-1)(x+5) = 0\]

Then set each term equal to zero, and you will have your solutions!

2x-1 = 0; x = 1/2
x+5 = 0; x = -5

Hope that helps!

Answer 7

i used the x method

Answer 8

Maddy, use the ^ sign to show something is squared Sorrye my answer is wrong because I did now the other 2 was squared. so next time write like 2x^2 + 9x =5 use the ^

Answer 9

@142343, I think you missed the squared on the x... that changes the method entirely. Hope it is clearer now.
