You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First we divide by 2 and get
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2x%5E2+%2B+3x+-+5+=+0+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x%5E2+%2B+%283%2F2%29x+-+5%2F2+=+0+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Take half of the middle coefficient and square it, then add that to both sides and get
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2+%2B+%283%2F2%29x+%2B+9%2F16+-+5%2F2+=+9%2F16\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2+%2B+%283%2F2%29x+%2B+9%2F16+=+49%2F16\"
\n" ); document.write( "Choice B is closest, but the x needs to be in the numerator.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
