Question

Solve the following equation.

3x² - 10x + 8 =0
Choose one answer.
a. x = 4/3, 1
b. x= 3,10
c. x = 3/2, 4
d. no solution

Answer 1

3x^2-6x-4x+8=0
or 3x(x-2)-4(x-2)=0
or (3x-4)(x-2)=0
either 3x-4 = 0 or x-2 = 0
ie either x=4/3 or x= 2

Answer 2

So, none of these options are correct. Therefore the answer is d?

Answer 3

to say that the equation has no solution would be incorrect. as clearly x=4/3 and x =2 are the solutions. instead of giving no solutions as an option, the problem should have given none of the above as option d

Answer 4

Ahhh. Yes, agreed. Thank you :)

Answer 5

ur welcome :)
