Question

If 2 x 2 + 13 x − 7 = 0 , then x could equal which of the following?

Answer 1

x = 1/2 x=-7

Explanation:

2 x^2 + 13 x − 7 = 0

Factor

(2x-1)(x+7)=0

Using the zero product property

2x-1 =0 x+7=0

2x=1 x =-7

x = 1/2 x=-7

Answer 2

Hi there! :)

Answer:

x = 1/2 or -7.

Explanation:

(I'm assuming the expression is 2x² + 13x - 7 = 0)

Factor the equation to solve for the possible values of "x":

2x² + 13x - 7 = 0

When factored, we get:

(2x - 1) ( x + 7) = 0

Use the Zero-Product property to solve for the roots:

2x - 1 = 0

2x = 1

x = 1/2.

-----------

x + 7 = 0

x = -7.

Therefore, possible values of x are x = -1/2, 7.
