Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2x² + x - 1 = 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
2x² + x - 3 = 0
Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.
product = 2 × - 3 = - 6 and sum = + 1
The factors are - 2 and + 3
Use these factors to split the x- term
2x² - 2x + 3x - 3 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
2x(x - 1) + 3(x - 1) = 0 ← factor out (x - 1) from each term
(x - 1)(2x + 3) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
2x + 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 3 ⇒ x = - 
I would say number 2 but dont take my word for it

Answer:
Hans has done a mistake in the second step.
The correct answer is:
5x^2+13x-6=0
5x^2+15x-2x-6x=0 - 5. -6=-30 -30=15. -2
5x(1+3x)-2x(1+3x)=0
(5x-2x)(1+3x)=0
5-2x=0 1+3x=0
x=5/2 x=-1/3
