Answer 1:
2x^2 - 5x = 12
2x^2 - 5x - 12 = 0
2x^2 - 8x + 3x - 12 = 0
2x(x - 4) + 3(x - 4) = 0
(x - 4)(2x + 3) = 0
Either x - 4 = 0
or 2x + 3 = 0
If x - 4 = 0, x = 4
If 2x + 3 = 0, x = -3/2
There are two possible solutions, and they are:
x = 4 (or) -3/2
Answer 2:
2x(x + 3) = x + 25
2x^2 + 6x = x + 25
2x^2 + 5x = 25
2x^2 + 5x - 25 = 0
2x^2 - 5x + 10x - 25 = 0
x(2x - 5) + 5(2x - 5) = 0
(2x - 5)(x + 5) = 0
The two possible solutions are x = 5/2 (or) - 5

First one:
2x^2 - 5x - 12 = 0
Find two numbers that add to -5 and multiply to 2 x -12 = -24
These are: -8, 3
2x^2 - 8x + 3x - 12 = 0
2x ( x-4) + 3(x-4) = 0
(2x + 3)(x-4) = 0
x = 4, -1.5
Second one:
2x^2 + 6x = x + 25
2x^2 + 5x - 25 = 0
Then find two numbers that add to 5 and multiply to -25 x 2 = -50
The numbers are.... 10, 5
2x^2 + 10x - 5x - 25 = 0
2x(x+5) - 5 (x+5) = 0
(2x - 5)(x+5) = 0
x = 2.5, -5

For first equation:
1. rearrange the equation
2x^2-5x-12=0
2. use the quadratic formula (check wikipedia.com coz its difficult to show u the formula here)
x1 = (5+11)/4 = 4
x2 = (5-11)/4 = -3/2
For second equation:
1. expand and rearrange the equation
2x^2+5x-25=0
2. Use the quadratic formula. The result will be
x1 = (-5+15)/4 = 5/2
x2 = (-5-15)/4 = -5
Hope this helps u!

2x^2 - 5x = 12
2x^2 - 5x - 12 = 0
(2x + 3)(x - 4) = 0
x = {4, -3/2}
2x(x + 3) = x + 25
2x^2 + 6x = x + 25
2x^2 + 5x = 25
2x^2 + 5x - 25 = 0

must use formula one.
x= (-b+/-(b^2 - 4ac)^0.5)/ 2a
whereby in this case, a=2, b= - 5, c = -12
the second one you can try out.
2x^2 - 5x = 12
2x^2 - 5x - 12 = 0
x = 5 +/- (25- 4(2)(-12))^0.5 over 2(2)
= 5 +/- (25+96)^0.5 over 4
= 5+/- 11 over 4
therefore x = (5+11)/4
=4
or x= (5-11)/4
=6/4
=1.5
second one answer is x = 2.5 or -5

the first one x=4
the second one is x=2.5
2x^2 – 5x = 12
2(4)^2 - 5(4) = 12
2(16) - 20 =12
32 - 20 = 12
12=12
2x(x+3)=x + 25
2(2.5) (2.5 + 3) = 2.5 +25
5(5.5) = 27.5
27.5 = 27.5

CASE I eq.1
Given: 2x²-5x=12
Using Quadratic Formula, we have,
ax²+bx +c = 0
x= (-b +âb²-4ac)/2a
solutions:
=[5+ â(5)²-4(2)(-12)]/2(2)
=[5+â25-4(-24)]/4
=[5+â25+96]/4
=[5+â121]/4
=(5+11)/4
=16/4
= 4........................ans
To check this,
2x²-5x=12
substitute the value of x.
2(4)²-5(4) = 12
32-20=12
12=12
or you may check this way,
2x²-5x-12=0
2(4)²-5(4)-12=0
32-20-12=0
0=0
-----------------------------------------
CASE II
Given eq. 2x(x+3) = x+25
solutions:
2x² +6x = x+25
2x²+6x-x = 25
2x² + 5x -25 = 0
Using the Quadratic Equation Formula:
ax²+bx+c = 0
x= [-b+âb²-4ac]/2a
x= [-5+â(5)²-4(2)(-25)]/2(2)
x=[-5+â25+200]/4
x=[-5+â225]/4
=(-5+15)/4
=10/4
=2.5 .......................answer
to prove it's correct!,
2x² + 5x-25 = 0
2(2.5)² +5(2.5) - 25 = 0
2(6.25) +12.5 -25 = 0
12.5 + 12.5 -25 =0
25-25 =0
0=0
