Question

Solve for x !

`\longrightarrow\bold{4x {}^(2) + 10x + 4 = 0}`

ty! ~​

Answer 1

Explanation:

We could easily solve this by factoring.

Given eqn:

`\rm{4x ^(2) + 10x + 4 = 0}`

Solution:

Factor left side:

`= > 2(2x + 1)(x + 2) = 0`

Write the factors to 0 to get our solution:

`= > 2x + 1 = 0`

`= > \boxed{ x = - \cfrac{1}{2} }`

or else,

`= > x + 2 = 0`

`= > \boxed{ x = - 2}`

`\rule{225pt}{2pt}`
