Question

Find the solutions to the equation below. Check all that apply. 20x^2 - 26x + 8 =0

Answer 1

B. x=1/2

D. x=4/5

Step-by-step explanation

`20x^2-26x+8=0`

Divide by 2 both sides:

`10x^2-13x+4=0`

Factoring:

`(2x-1)(5x-4)=0`

And we have 2 options:

`\begin{gathered} 2x-1=0 \\ 2x=1 \\ x=(1)/(2) \end{gathered}`

and

`\begin{gathered} 5x-4=0 \\ 5x=4 \\ x=(4)/(5) \end{gathered}`
