Question

What are the solutions to the equation (2x – 5)(3x – 1) = 0? x= 5 or x + 1

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(2x - 5)(3x - 1) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x - 5 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 5 ⇒ x = $\frac{5}{2}$

3x - 1 = 0 ⇒ 3x = 1 ⇒ x = $\frac{1}{3}$

Solutions are x = $\frac{5}{2}$ or x = $\frac{1}{3}$
