Question

Solve for x. Write both solution, separated by a comma. 4x^2-x-3=0.

Answer 1

Answer:

x₁ = -3/4

x₂ = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

4x² - x - 3 = 0

4x² + 3x - 4x - 3 = 0

xx(4x + 3) - 4x - 3 = 0

xx(4x + 3) - (4x + 3) = 0

(4x + 3) × (x - 1) = 0

4x + 3 = 0 → x = -3/4

x - 1 = 0 → x = 1

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -3/4, 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor left side of the equation.

(4x + 3)(x - 1) = 0

Set factors equal to 0.

4x + 3 = 0

4x = -3

x = -3/4

x - 1 = 0

x = 1
