how??

hartnn (hartnn):

add 13u+6 on both sides

hartnn (hartnn):

\(5u^2+13u+6=0\) ok? can u factor this quadratic ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

hartnn (hartnn):

split the middle term as \(5u^2+10u+3u+6=0 \\ 5u(u+2)+3(u+2)=0\) can u solve further?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no please help

hartnn (hartnn):

\((5u+3)(u+2)=0 \\5u+3=0 \quad or \quad u+2=0 \\u=-3/5,-2\) got this ?
