Question

(2x-1)(x+5)=o solve for x

Answer 1

x = - 5, x =
`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

Given

(2x - 1)(x + 5) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 1 ⇒ x =
`(1)/(2)`

Answer 2

x = - 5, x = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x - 1)(x + 5) = 0

x + 5 = 0 so x = - 5

2x - 1 = 0 so 2x = 1 so x = 1/2
