3(1-y)^2+5(1-y)+2=0

myininaya (myininaya):

can you solve \[3u^2+5u+2=0\]

myininaya (myininaya):

\[3u^2+2u+3u+2=0\] \[u(3u+2)+1(3u+2)=0\] \[(3u+2)(u+1)=0\] \[3u+2=0 \text{ or } u+1=0\]

myininaya (myininaya):

\[u=\frac{-2}{3} \text{ or } u=-1\]

myininaya (myininaya):

what is different from my equation and your equation?

myininaya (myininaya):

how about where you have 1-y I have u right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mine is 3(1-y)^2 + 5(1-y)+2 = 0

myininaya (myininaya):

so all you have to do now is solve both of these equations for y 1-y=-2/3 or 1-y=-1
