You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2h%5E2-h-3=0 Start with the given equation


%282h-3%29%28h%2B1%29=0 Factor the left side (note: if you need help with factoring, check out this solver)



Now set each factor equal to zero:
2h-3=0 or h%2B1=0


h=3%2F2 or h=-1 Now solve for h in each case


So the solutions are h=3%2F2 or h=-1
