Question

How do I solve this quadratic equation by factoring: 2x^2 - 3x = 0

Answer 1

You need to take out the common factor in both terms. Can you see what it is?

Answer 2

Isn't it product 2 and sum: -3?

Answer 3

okay we have 2x^2 - 3x = 0
There is a x in the 3x term and a x in the 2x^2 term.
THis is all we can take out.

Answer 4

okay.

Answer 5

\[2x^2-3x=0\]\[x(2x-3)=0\]

So x=0
Or 2x-3=0
2x=3
x=3/2

Answer 6

ohhh.. so it's not like (2x^2 -2) + (-3x +1)...? thank you!!

Answer 7

No worries,
