Question

What are the solutions to the equation (2x - 5)(3x - 1) = 0?

A) x= -5/2 or x= -1/3

B) x=2/5 or x= 3

C) x=5/2 or x= 1/3

D) x=5 or x= 1

Answer 1

C is the correct answer

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

Set both equations equal to 0

2x-5=0 and 3x-1=0

for (2x-5): for 3x-1=0:

add 5 to each side: add 1 to each side

2x=5, then divide 2 3x=1, then divide 3

x=5/2 x=1/3
