3x^2 = 2x + 5

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

do you know how to start?

OpenStudy (drummmlers):

not really, combine?

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

exactly so once we have combined we get?

OpenStudy (drummmlers):

3x^2 = 7x ?

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

Not quite... you have to combine like terms Do you see any like terms?

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

I believe solve for x how about you solve for condition and I find the x factor and we show him both

OpenStudy (drummmlers):

it doesn't tell me. it just says solve by whatever method seems easiest

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

sir I did not get smart with you so pleas don't get smart with me I'm just trying to finish the problem so he can answer it thank you

OpenStudy (drummmlers):

I don't see like terms, it's been quite awhile since i've had to do this and i've forgotten the methods

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

okay so you can square root it to get like terms

OpenStudy (loser66):

you don't have like term , therefore, cannot combine like term step1 move all terms to the LHS to get 3x^2-2x-5=0 step2, solve that quadratic equation

OpenStudy (loser66):

from step2, you can use "factor" method or discriminant method, I prefer factor. can you do it?

OpenStudy (drummmlers):

no i dont think so

OpenStudy (loser66):

what don't you think?

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

you can do it just try

OpenStudy (drummmlers):

lol
