Question

3x^2-14x=5 Show work too

Answer 1

Move all terms to one sides

3x^2 - 14x - 5 = 0

Split the second term in 3x^2 - 14x - 5 into two terms

3x^2 + x - 15x - 5 = 0

Factor out the common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms;

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

Factor out the common term 3x + 1

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

Solve for x;

x = -1/3, 5
