Answer:
The remaining solution to the equation is x = 1
Explanation:
2x^2 + x - 1 = 2
First set the equation to zero by subtracting 2 from each side:
2x^2 + x - 1 - 2 = 2 - 2
2x^2 + x - 3 = 0
Factor the left side of the equation:
2x^2 + x - 3 = 0
(2x + 3)(x - 1) = 0
Now set each factor to zero and solve:
2x+ 3 = 0
2x+ 3 - 3 = 0 - 3
2x= -3
2x/2= -3/2
x= -3/2 (The given expression)
x - 1 = 0
x - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1
x = 1
Since we already knew x = -3/2, the missing solution is x = 1.
