Question

Which statement about the quadratic equation below is true?
2x2 - 15x + 18 = 0

Answer 1

x=3/2 or x=6

Explanation:

2x2−15x+18=0

Step 1: Factor left side of equation.

2x^2-12x-3x+18=0

taking common factors

2x(x-6)-3(x-6)=0

(2x−3)(x−6)=0

Step 2: Set factors equal to 0.

2x−3=0 or x−6=0

x=3/2 or x=6
