How to factor 2x^2+3x

Answer 1

You can factor by x.
Which you would get: x(2x + 3)
Which you would distribute the x to all the other numbers.
Roots: - 3/2 and 0.

Answer 2

There are other forms of that equation.

Answer 3

thats perfect thanks!

Answer 4

Welcome. If you need any information on factoring or another question. I may be able to help.

Answer 5

actually, im having trouble with this one also; 2x^2-13x+20=0

Answer 6

If you wouldnt mind helping me that would be great

Answer 7

Im writing mine tomorrow lol

Answer 9

(x - 4)(2x - 5) = 0
Where the solutions are:
5/2 and 4.
You would plug in those to get 0.
and foil those two equations together to get
2x^2-13x+20=0

Answer 10

how did you get (x - 4)(2x - 5) = 0?

Answer 11

You break the equation apart. Factor it yourself and you should get 2x^2-13x+20=0

Answer 12

ok i see what u mean but how did you get from 2x^2-13x+20=0 to 2x^2-13x+20=0? How do you break the equation apart?

Answer 13

sorry i meant to 2x^2-13x+20=0 to (x - 4)(2x - 5) = 0

Answer 14

Broke it apart with common factors.

Answer 15

x for 2x^2. 4 for 20.

Answer 16

Answer 17

You do them by them self.

Answer 18

Their own factor.

Answer 19
