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! :)

Explanation:

Gandhi is a brave hero, he fought for the independence of India. He had believed in the non-violence and peaceful protests to change India. He fought the British government from ruling India with brutality and violence. He had used a non-violence protest to object the unfair treatment of the Indian people. Gandhi never gave up, he walked 241 miles to protest about the British's unfair taxation of salt. This protest lasted 23 days and had gained the world's attention. Even though Mahatma Gandhi was arrested after, he continued to fight for India's independence. Gandhi's non-violence protests were rewarded with the independence of India. This is why Mahatma Gandhi is a hero.
