Question

Find the solutions to the equation below check all that apply

Answer 1

A. x=1/3

B. x=-4/3

_____________________________________________________

Solve for x over the real numbers: using the factor method:

9 x^2 + 9 x - 4 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:

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

Split into two equations:

3 x - 1 = 0 or 3 x + 4 = 0

Add 1 to both sides:

3 x = 1 or 3 x + 4 = 0

Divide both sides by 3:

x = 1/3 or 3 x + 4 = 0

Subtract 4 from both sides:

x = 1/3 or 3 x = -4

Divide both sides by 3:

Answer:  x = 1/3 or x = -4/3
