3x^2 – X – 2 = 0 how do I solve this by factoring​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alenkasestr [34]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x=-\frac{2}{3} or x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is 3x^2-x-2=0

You split the middle term with 2x-3x to get:

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

We now factor by grouping to get:

x(3x+2)-1(3x+2)=0

Factor again to get:

(3x+2)(x-1)=0

Apply the zero product principle to get:

(3x+2)=0 or (x-1)=0

This implies that:

x=-\frac{2}{3} or x=1

Mavis drives 634 miles to visit her grandmother in philadelphia. How many miles does mavis drive if she visits her grandmother 4
Dmitriy789 [7]

Mavis drives = 634 miles.

Mavis visits her grandmother 4 times.

That means, she drives 634 miles each time when she visits her mother.

One time round trip Mavis's house to her gramdmother in philadelphia = 634 miles.

If she visited 4 times, we can multiply one round trip distance by 4 or we can just add that distance four times.

Let us try it by multiplying 4 by 634 .

If we multiply 4 by 634, we get 2536.

Therefore, 2536 miles Mavis drives if she visits her grandmother 4 times.

Yati has a coin box containing some coins. 40% of the coins are 20-cent coins and the rest are 50-cent coins.
lana66690 [7]

The fraction that should be removed is 1/5.

<h3>How to calculate the fraction?</h3>

It should be noted that from the information, 40% of the coins are 20-cent coins and the rest are 50-cent coins. Those that are 50 cent will be:

= 100 - 40%

= 60%

The fraction that's should be removed will be:

= 2/5 - x = 1/5

x = 2/5 - 1/5

x = 1/5

The fraction that should be removed is 1/5.
