Question

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

Answer 1

Okay, start off with setting the equation to zero; standard form.

What do we have to do to get zero on the right side?

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

Kind of, we're subtracting 8 from both sides.

Answer 4

Next, you factor it out.

Answer 5

With this one I need a solution set.

Answer 6

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

Answer 7

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.

Answer 8

You have now two equations.

Answer 9

Okay.

Answer 10

Have you found it?
