Question

Solve for the two possible values of x:
(4x - 11) (8x + 19) = 0

Answer 1

x= 11/4 and -19/8

Explanation:

You would set both (4x-11) and (8x+19) equal to 0

4x-11=0 Add 11 on both sides

4x=11 Divide both sides by 4

x= 11/4

8x+19=0 Subtract 19 on both sides

8x= -19 Divide both sides by 8

x= -19/8

Answer 2

(4x - 11) (8x + 19) = 0

4x-11 =0 8x+19 = 0

4x=11 8x=-19

x=11/4 x=-19/8
