Question

PLEASE ANSWER + BRAINLIEST!! Use the quadratic formula to solve. 3x^2 = 5x

Answer 1

The quadratic formula is:

$\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

To solve the equation using the quadratic formula, we must put it in $ax^2+bx+c$ form.

$3x^2 - 5x + 0 = 0$

Now plug a, b, and c into the formula and solve:

$\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{25 - 4(3)(0)} }{6}$

Simplify:

$\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{25-0} }{6}$

$\frac{5 \pm 5}{6}$

x = $\frac{10}{6}$ or 0

Reduced, the answer is:

x = 5/3 or 0
