Answer:
x = 3/2 = 1.500
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(x - 5) • (2x - 3) = 0
Step 2 :
Theory - Roots of a product :
2.1 A product of several terms equals zero.
When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.
We shall now solve each term = 0 separately
In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product
Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.
Solving a Single Variable Equation :
2.2 Solve : x-5 = 0
Add 5 to both sides of the equation :
x = 5
Solving a Single Variable Equation :
2.3 Solve : 2x-3 = 0
Add 3 to both sides of the equation :
2x = 3
Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
x = 3/2 = 1.500
Two solutions were found :
x = 3/2 = 1.500
x = 5
