Solve by two methods, quadratic equation and factoring:
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2-x-15=0
\n" ); document.write( "
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
\n" ); document.write( "the quadratic equation formula
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%5E2+-+x+-+15+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%5E2+-+6x+%2B+5x+-+15+=+0\" ------- Replacing - x with - 6x + 5x
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%28x+-+3%29+%2B+5%28x+-+3%29+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282x+%2B+5%29%28x+-+3%29+=+0+\"
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 5 = 0 OR x - 3 = 0
