Question

solve by factoring (i suck at this)
3y^2+y-14=0

Answer 1

im sick and cant think..help please :)

Answer 2

(y-2)(3y+7)=0

Answer 3

wat are the solutions?

Answer 4

y-2=0
3y+7=0

Answer 5

...woodnt (y-2)= y=2?

Answer 6

omg its true

Answer 7

huh? wats true?

Answer 8

y-2=0
2-2=0
so y=2 isnt' it?

Answer 9

oh..ya, thts wat i said earlier, but wadda bout the other solution? wood tht be y=-7 or y=-3y?

Answer 10

3y+7=0
lets substract -7, it's good idea isn't it?

Answer 11

okay... so its 3y=-7, then u divide rite? so y=-2.333333 rite?

Answer 12

yeah but you better write -7/3 which is \(-2\frac{1}{3}\) at least i was taught not to approximate, i don't know how you do it in your country, probably US?

Answer 13

yep..in the U.S, but it wood make more sense to not approximate it, thnx for the help :)
