If one of the factors is 2x-3, then one of the zeros would be 3%2F2.

2%283%2F2%29%5E2%2B%283%2F2%29k-12=0

9%2A2%2F%282%2A2%29%2B%283%2F2%29k-12=0
18%2F4%2B3k%2F2-12=0
18%2B3%2A4k%2F2-48=0
18%2B6k-48=0
3%2Bk-8=0
k=8-3
highlight%28highlight%28k=5%29%29

This dude never fails to give WRONG/INCORRECT/RIDICULOUS answers. FYI k+%3C%3E+10

Why don't you try doing it. I'm sure you'll get the correct answer, UNLIKE him!

I guess he changed his WRONG/INCORRECT/RIDICULOUS answer.
