Question

Solve for x. PLZ WAIT FOR THE PHTO TO UPLOAD

Answer 1

6x² - 5x + -21 = 0

Because this whole equation equals zero, we must simply factorize the first half of the equation, or the left side.

(3x - 7)(2x + 3) = 0

I was never really taught a specific way to factorize, so I usually just guess and check when factorizing. It usually takes a long time, it always gives you the tight answer.

Then, take each equation and make it equal zero.

3x - 7 = 0 AND 2x + 3 = 0

3x - 7 = 0

Add 7 to both sides.

3x = 7

Divide both sides by 3.

x = 7/3

Now, we do our second equation.

2x + 3 = 0

Subtract 3 from both sides.

2x = -3

Divide both sides by 2.

x = -3/2

So, x = 7/3 AND x = -3/2

So, your answer is C) x = 7/3, x = -3/2
