Answer:Factor by grouping.

Hello!

_________________

8x^2-2x-15=0

( 4x + 5 ) (2x - 3) = 0

Explanation:

If any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to 0 , the entire expression will be equal to 0.

Set 4x + 5 equal to 0  and solve for x.

4x + 5 = 0

Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.

4x = -5

Divide each term by 4 and simplify.

4x/4 = -5/4

x = -5/4

Set 2x - 3  equal to 0 and solve for x.

x = 3/2

The final solution is all the values that make ( 4x + 5) ( 2x -3) = 0 true.

x = - 5/4 , 3/2.

Hope this helped you and sorry for take so long!

Answer:

<em>x₁ = -5/4 (-1.25)</em>

<em>x₂ = 3/2 (1.5)</em>

Explanation:

8x² - 2x - 15 = 0

8x² + 10x - 12x - 15 = 0

2xx(4x + 5) - 12x - 15 = 0

2xx (4x + 5) - 3(4x + 5) = 0

(4x + 5) × (2x - 3) = 0

4x + 5 = 0 → x = -5/4 (-1.25)

2x - 3 = 0 → x = 3/2 (1.5)

Hope this helps! :)

What is the resolution of the short story “condensed milk”?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

He’d pay for his office job with our blood, with my blood. I don’t remember what I did that day nor how I worked. As the name suggests condensed milk is milk that has been condensed to about 1/3 of its original volume by evaporating the liquid over low slow cooking. "Condensed Milk" is one of the autobiographical stories of Varlam Shalamov, who spent more than 20 years in Stalin's gulags in the mid-20th century. Here is my short story that I wrote for my Creative Writing class. The Seven Sentence Story. The main purpose of adding sugar is to prolong the shelf life of condensed milk, which can sit on room temperature shelves for years.
