Question 241713: 5x²-2x=3 What is the solution set
Answer by College Student(505) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
5x%5E2-2x=3
Set equation equal to zero.
5x%5E2-2x-3=0
Now factor.
%285x%2B3%29%28x-1%29=0
.
Since any number multiplied by zero equals zero, our solution set is one that will yield zero in both terms. Therefore, our solution set is: {-3/5, 1}
.
5x%2B3=0
5x=-3
x=-%283%2F5%29
...AND...
x-1=0
x=1
.
Done!
