Question 955965
<br>
... or perhaps the problem is presented in especially bad form and the equation is actually supposed to be<br>
{{{2x^3+3x^2-(8x+12)=0}}}<br>
In this case also the polynomial factors nicely, yielding "nice" answers:<br>
{{{2x^3+3x^2-8x-12=0}}}<br>
{{{x^2(2x+3)-4(2x+3)=0}}}<br>
{{{(x^2-4)(2x+3)=0}}}<br>
Solutions: x=2, x=-2, x=-3/2<br>
