Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2x² + x - 1 = 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
2x² + x - 3 = 0
Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.
product = 2 × - 3 = - 6 and sum = + 1
The factors are - 2 and + 3
Use these factors to split the x- term
2x² - 2x + 3x - 3 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
2x(x - 1) + 3(x - 1) = 0 ← factor out (x - 1) from each term
(x - 1)(2x + 3) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
2x + 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 3 ⇒ x = -

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A - Where did Phillip make a mistake? Justify your answer using complete sentences.
Use order of operation (PEMDAS)
He should multiply 8 x 4 first
Part B - Solve the expression correctly in the space below.
(5 x 9) - 8 x 4
= 45 - 32
= 13
Part C - Use the same rules of order of operations to solve the expression (8-4) +9 x 3. Explain your steps as you solve it.
(8-4) + 9 x 3
Step 1: 4 + 9 x 3 (Subtract in the parenthesis first)
Step 2: 4 + 27 (Multiply 9 x 3)
Step 3: 31 (Add)
