Answer:
Explanation:
Simplifying
(2x + -3)(x + -4) = 0
Reorder the terms:
(-3 + 2x)(x + -4) = 0
Reorder the terms:
(-3 + 2x)(-4 + x) = 0
Multiply (-3 + 2x) * (-4 + x)
(-3(-4 + x) + 2x * (-4 + x)) = 0
((-4 * -3 + x * -3) + 2x * (-4 + x)) = 0
((12 + -3x) + 2x * (-4 + x)) = 0
(12 + -3x + (-4 * 2x + x * 2x)) = 0
(12 + -3x + (-8x + 2x2)) = 0
Combine like terms: -3x + -8x = -11x
(12 + -11x + 2x2) = 0
Solving
12 + -11x + 2x2 = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Factor a trinomial.
(3 + -2x)(4 + -1x) = 0
Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(3 + -2x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
3 + -2x = 0
Solving
3 + -2x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3' to each side of the equation.
3 + -3 + -2x = 0 + -3
Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
0 + -2x = 0 + -3
-2x = 0 + -3
Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3
-2x = -3
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = 1.5
Simplifying
x = 1.5
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(4 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
4 + -1x = 0
Solving
4 + -1x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + -1x = 0 + -4
Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + -4
-1x = 0 + -4
Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4
-1x = -4
Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 4
Simplifying
x = 4
Solution
x = {1.5, 4}
