Answer:

Alternative B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

We have been given the following quadratic equation;

5x = 6x²-3. The first step is to re-arrange the equation and write the equation in standard form; ax²+bx+c = 0

6x²-5x-3 = 0 . This implies that; a = 6 , b = -5 and c = -3 . The quadratic formula is given as;

x =(-b±√b²-4ac) / 2a

Plugging in the values of a, b and c into the formula yields;

x = (-(-5)±√(-5)²-4(6)(-3) ) / 2(6)

x = (5±√25+72) / 12

x = (5±√97) / 12 which is the solution

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.


x=(5\pm√(97))/(12)

Explanation:

Given :
5x=6x^2-3

We have to solve using quadratic formula and find value for x.

Consider the given equation
5x=6x^2-3 it can be rewritten as :
6x^2-5x-3=0

The standard form of quadratic equation is
ax^2+bx+c=0 , and the quadratic formula for the standard equation is given by,


x=(-b\pm√(b^2-4ac))/(2a)

Compare the given equation with standard equation , we have a = 6 , b = -5 and c = -3.

Substitute in quadratic formula, we have,


x=(5\pm√((5)^2-4\cdot 6\cdot (-3)))/(2(6))

Simplify, we get,


\Rightarrow x=(5\pm√(25+72))/(12)


\Rightarrow x=(5\pm√(97))/(12)

Thus, option (b) is correct.
