Question

Solve by factoring
5x2-8=-6x

Answer 1

x= 4/5 or x = -2

Explanation:

Step 1: Subtract -6x from both sides.

5x^2 -8 - -6x = -6x -6x

5x^2 + 6x - 8 = 0

Step 2: Factor left side of equation.

(5x - 4) (x + 2) = 0

Step 3: Set factors equal to 0.

5x - 4 = 0 or x + 2 = 0

Hense the Answer is x= 4/5 or x = -2
