Question

Solve the following equation: 3x^2 – 8x = 35.

x = –8/3 and x = 5

x = –8/3 and x = 32

x = –7/3 and x = 5

x = –5 and x = –7

Answer 1

Move 35 to the left side by subtracting it. 3x^2 - 8x - 35. Now you factor it out into two binomials. Make sense.

Answer 2

so its -7/3 and 5 ?

Answer 3

If you factor correctly, I get (3x + 7)(x - 5), set each to 0 and solve.
So, yes you are correct!
