Answer:

$x = 5 \\ x = - 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

${x}^{2} - 2x = 15 \\ {x}^{2} - 2x - 15 = 0 \\ {x}^{2} + 3x - 5x - 15 = 0 \\ x(x + 3) - 5(x + 3) = 0 \\ (x - 5)(x + 3) = 0 \\ x - 5 = 0 \: \: \: \: \: or \: \: \: \: x + 3 = 0 \\ x = 5 \: \: \: \: or \: \: \: \: \: \: x = - 3$

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Quotient is simply the ratio of the first numerator to the second numerator:

Let's $\frac{x_1}{y}\;and\;\frac{x_2}{y}$ are two fractions in same terms.

Thus, $\frac{x_1}{y}\div\frac{x_2}{y}$ {Divided by a fraction is equal to multiplied by its reciprocal}

= $\frac{x_1}{y}\times\frac{y}{x_2}$

Quotient is simply the quotient of their numerators.

Example could be:

$\frac{2}{7}\div\frac{3}{7}$

$\frac{2}{7}\times\frac{7}3}$

$\frac{2}{3}$

2 is first numerator and 3 is the second numerator.

Which of the following methods would be the easiest to use to solve x2 + 5x – 6 = 0?

EastWind [94]

For me personally, the easiest way to do this is by isolating the x² term, and finding the square root of both sides. The hardest way (well actually, the longest way) would be to use the quadratic formula. It just complicates things unnecessarily.
