Question

PLEASE HELP, IM SO CONFUSED.

Factoring Polynomials
2x^2 + 15x - 38

Answer 1

Simplifying
2x2 + 15x + -38 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-38 + 15x + 2x2 = 0

Solve this ^

Answer 2

15x + 2x^2=38?

Answer 3

We had to reorder them

Solving for variable 'x'.

Factor a trinomial.
(-19 + -2x)(2 + -1x) = 0

Answer 4

how did you get that??

Answer 5

Simplifying
-19 + -2x = 0

Solving
-19 + -2x = 0

-19 + 19 + -2x = 0 + 19

Combine like terms: -19 + 19 = 0
0 + -2x = 0 + 19
-2x = 0 + 19

Combine like terms: 0 + 19 = 19
-2x = 19

Divide each side by '-2'.
x = -9.5

Simplifying
x = -9.5

Answer 6

thats not what the question is asking. I know the answer its (2x+19)(x-2) but idk how do get there

Answer 7

2 + -1x = 0

Solving
2 + -1x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2 + -1x = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + -2
-1x = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
-1x = -2

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 2

Simplifying
x = 2
