Question

Solve for x.

Write the smaller solution first, and the larger solution second.
(2x +4)(3x -2)=0

Smaller x =
Larger x =

Answer 1

see explanation

Explanation:

Given

(2x + 4)(3x - 2) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x + 4 = 0 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

2x = - 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = - 2

3x - 2 = 0 ( add 2 to both sides )

3x = 2 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x =
`(2)/(3)`

Hence

smaller x = - 2

larger x =
`(2)/(3)`
