Question

What are the approximate solutions of 3x2 − 5x = 3 rounded to the nearest hundredth?

Answer 1

change to standard form first

3x^2 - 5x - 3 = 0

use quadratic formula to solve for x

Answer 2

okay

Answer 3

or the x method which is also less wrting

Answer 4

what is the x method?

Answer 5

let me show you

Answer 6
