Answer: x = - 1 or - 1.5
STEPS:
2x ^2 - 5 x + 3 = 0 ... ( given equation)
This can be written as
2 x ^2 + 2x + 3x +3 = 0
Taking the common factor out,
we get 2x ( x+1) + 3 ( x + 1)
=> (2x + 3) (x + 1) = 0
case 1: either (2x + 3) must be = 3;
then x = (3/2) or 1.5... (answer 1)
Case 2: (x + 1) must be = 0
Then, x = - 1.... Answer (2)
ANSWER: x = - 1 0r - 1.5

With What form of equation
Quadratic
(-b+-SqrRoot(b^2-4(a)(c))/2(a)
A=2
B=5
C=3
Just plug in
Sum And Product
2x^2+5x+3=0 S=5 P=6
Sum= Middle Number
Product= Outside Numbers 2x multiplied by 3
Common Numbers (2,3)
Sub 2 and 3 in place of 5
2x^2+2x+3x+3
Remove Common Numbers
2x(x+1)3(x+1)
(x+1)(2x+3)
X=-1| 2x=-3 x=3/2 X=-1.5
(-1,-1.5)

2x^2+5x+3=0
2x^2 + 2x + 3x + 3 = 0
2x(x+1)+3(x+1)=0
(x+1)(2x+3)=0
x+1=0 --> x = -1
2x+3=0 ---> x = -1.5
x=(-1.5,-1)

factor
(2x +3)(x + 1) = 0
2x + 3 = 0
2x = -3
x = -3/2
x+1 = 0
x = -1

Did you hassle to be taught your consequences? is two(-3)^2 + 5(-3) - 3 equivalent to 0? is two(a million/2)^2 + 5(a million/2) - 3 equivalent to 0? I verify my consequences each and every time, each and every time! i'm solid at this "stuff" yet no longer appropriate. Are you appropriate? i assume no longer because of the fact which you're "very perplexed."
