~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As I just said in https://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/quadratic/Quadratic_Equations.faq.question.1038843.html,
solve on your own at least by the quadratic formula.

Demonstrate that you can do this arithmetic.

Solve by 2 methods,Quad Equation and Factoring : 2x^2-x-15=0 
You ask me to show, this may or may not be right 

X=-b±√b^2-4ac/2a. a=2, b= -1, c= -15 X=-(-1)±√1^2+4^2(-15)/2^2 X1,2=(1±11)/2^2 X1=12/4= 3 X2=-10/4= -5/2 

Having problems with getting my zero Factoring right and checking problem 


My responce: Bravo that you found a courage to start it.

Your calculations are incorrect, and I see that you really need help. Let me fix it:

X =  =  =  = .

 =  = ,   =  = .

Now factoring:

 =  =  = .

I would use the factoring method 1st, since it's easier, and you can use the solution(s) to check the solution(s) after using
the quadratic equation formula

------- Replacing - x with - 6x + 5x


2x + 5 = 0 OR x - 3 = 0
