Question

Find the solutions to the equation below.
Check all that apply.
2x^2 + 1-1x + 5 = 0

Answer 1

is -2 and option cause tbh that’s what i keep getting

Answer 2

Explanation:

The trick here is that the equation factors.

y= 2x^2 + 11x + 5

y = (2x + 1)(x + 5)

So either

2x + 1 = 0 subtract 1 from both sides

2x = - 1 divide by 2

2x = -1/2

or

x + 5 = 0 Subtract 5 from both sides

x = - 5

Answer: B and D
