Simplifying -15x2 + -2x + 8 = 0
Reorder the terms: 8 + -2x + -15x2 = 0 Solving 8 + -2x + -15x2 = 0 Solving for variable 'x'.
Factor a trinomial. (2 + -3x)(4 + 5x) = 0 Subproblem 1Set the factor '(2 + -3x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying 2 + -3x = 0 Solving 2 + -3x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2' to each side of the equation. 2 + -2 + -3x = 0 + -2
Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0 0 + -3x = 0 + -2 -3x = 0 + -2
Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2 -3x = -2
Divide each side by '-3'. x = 0.6666666667
Simplifying x = 0.6666666667
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(4 + 5x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying 4 + 5x = 0
Solving 4 + 5x = 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 + 5x = 0 + -4
Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0 0 + 5x = 0 + -4 5x = 0 + -4
Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4 5x = -4
Divide each side by '5'. x = -0.8 Simplifying x = -0.8
Solutionx = {0.6666666667, -0.8}
