_____ + ______ = 0
x 2x-3
Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
:
+ = 0
:
Multiply thru by x(2x-3) and you have:
:
(2x-3)(x+1) + 6x = 0
:
FOIL
2x^2 + 2x - 3x - 3 + 6x = 0
:
2x^2 + 5x - 3 = 0
:
Factor:
(2x - 1)(x + 3) = 0
:
2x = +1
x = 1/2
and
x = -3
:
Substitute both solutions to confirm our solutions
