Answer:
x = -3 and x = 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Your equation is
2x² + 5x - 9 = 2x
1. Subtract 2x from each side
2x² + 3x - 9 = 0
2. Solve the quadratic for x
(a) Multiply the first and last terms
2 × (-9 )= -18
(b) List all the factors of 18
1 18
2 9
3 6
(c) Find a pair of factors whose product is -18 and whose sum is 3.
After some trial and error, you will choose +6 and -3
6 × (-3) = -18 and 6 + (-3) = 1.
(d) Rewrite 3x as 6x - 3x
2x² + 6x - 3x - 9 = 0
(e) Factor by grouping
2x(x + 3) - 3(x + 3) = 0
(x + 3)(2x - 3) = 0
(f) Use the zero product theorem
x + 3 = 0 2x - 3 = 0
x = -3 2x = 3
x = 1.5
The roots of your parabola are at x = -3 and x = 1.5
The diagram below shows a graph of your parabola with roots at (-3, 0) and (1.5, 0).

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
''Vedavit walks his dog the same distance each day.''
After 5 days,he has walked his dog 1 mile.''
First we are going to convert the total distance (1 mi) to feet.
The relation is :
After 5 days, he has walked his dog 5280 ft.
The next step is to divide the total distance for the amount of day that he has walked his dog (we do this because Vedavit walks his dog the same distance each day)
Finally, he has walked his dog each day
