SOLUTION: Solve by factoring and using the principle of zero products: 2x^2-11x+15=0 I am not sure if I am doing this correctly. My answer was x=5/2 and x=-3 but I do not feel confident

Question 380794: Solve by factoring and using the principle of zero products: 2x^2-11x+15=0
I am not sure if I am doing this correctly. My answer was x=5/2 and x=-3 but I do not feel confident in these....

2x^2-11x+15=0 factor
(2x-5)(x-3)=0 set each factor equal to zero and solve each factor for "x"
2x-5=0
2x=5
x=5/2
and
x-3=0
x=3
.
be sure to check by plugging each x back into the orignal equation. see what happens when yopu plug either 3 or -3 back into the equation. you are on the right track. good job.
