Question 19407
Solve by factoring:
{{{2x^2 + 5x + 3 = 0}}} Factor.
{{{(2x + 3)(x + 1) = 0}}} Apply the zero products principle.
{{{(2x + 3) = 0}}} and/or {{{(x + 1) = 0}}}
If {{{2x + 3 = 0}}} then, {{{2x = -3}}} and {{{x = -3/2}}}
If {{{x + 1 = 0}}} then, {{{x = -1}}}

The roots are:
{{{x = -3/2}}}
{{{x = -1}}}
