Solve the equation. Express numbers as integers or simplified fractions. Separate multiple answers with a comma, if necessary. 3w^2-2w=8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, start off with setting the equation to zero; standard form. What do we have to do to get zero on the right side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we make the equal sign before the 8 a minus sign?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Kind of, we're subtracting 8 from both sides.|dw:1394322927779:dw|

Next, you factor it out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

With this one I need a solution set.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When you factor it out, you would then set those equal to zero to find your answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try using the distributive law ab+ac, so a(b+c). In this case you have 3w^2-2w=8 w(3w-2)=8 So try to solve it now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have now two equations.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.
