Solve 2x2 − 9x + 7 = 0 using an appropriate method. Show the steps of your work and explain why you chose the method used.

RustedKatana:

@sunflower0kiddo or @VIBE

Sunflower0Kiddo:

I gocchu

Sunflower0Kiddo:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step, 2x2−9x+7=0

RustedKatana:

Ok.

RustedKatana:

What do I need to do first?

Sunflower0Kiddo:

Step 1: Factor left side of equation, (2x−7)(x−1)=0

RustedKatana:

Ok, how do I work that out?

Sunflower0Kiddo:

Step 2: Set factors equal to 0. 2x−7=0 or x−1=0 x= 7/2 (fraction) or x=1

Sunflower0Kiddo:

Just copy the numbers ^^

RustedKatana:

Ok. What next?

Sunflower0Kiddo:

snowflake0531:

Well, you sure you can use calculators, but you have to still learn how to do it by yourself .-.

Sunflower0Kiddo:

Joe348:

Use the quadratic formula in this equation

snowflake0531:

o-O It would be easier to just do regular factoring in this one
