HELP MEDAL AND FAN 2x^2+x=3-4x
hiya, r u ready for me to explain now colorfully
factor sorry
ya sure
First let's collect like terms to simplify things: \[2x^2+x=3-4x\]\[2x^2+5x-3=0\] Then use any method you like to solve for x (e.g. quadratic formula). You should get x = 0.5 and x = -3.
but you have to slove this by factoring

No problem! I'm going to start with my second equation up there: \[2x^2+5x-3=0\] To factor this, we need to find two numbers that add to give 5 and multiply to give -6 (which you get from 2 * -3). The only two numbers are -1 and 6. We can then rewrite the middle term, 5x, as 6x - x since they're equal: \[2x^2+6x-x-3=0\] Next we need to group the terms in a way that let's us factor them more easily. We can do it like this: \[(2x^2-x)+(6x-3)=0\] I just switched the positions of 6x and -x, and drew brackets around the groups that can now be factored. Now we can finish! \[x(2x-1)+3(2x-1)=0\]\[(2x-1)(x+3)=0\]\[x=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 },-3\]
yes 1/2 sorry typo
