Question

Using factoring, what is the solution to the equation 2x2 + 3x – 5 = 0

Answer 1

Here if this helps your welcome if not I’m sorry

So start with

2x2+3x-5=0

2x2=4

4+3x-5=0

Subtract 4 from both sides

4+3x-5=0
-4. -4

The 4 cancels out

3x-5= -4

Now add 5 to each side and the 5 will cancel

3x-5=-4
+5. +5

3x=1

Divide 3 from both sides the 3 cancels

3x=1

3/3x= 1/3

So your answer is:
x=1/3
