Question

Find the solution to the equation below.
2x2 + 3x – 20 = 0

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 5/2       x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 + 3x – 20 = 0

Factor

(2x -5) (x+4) = 0

Using the zero product property

2x-5 =0     x+4 = 0

2x=5           x = -4

x = 5/2       x = -4

Answer 2

x = 5/2 or x= -4

IT’S A.
