Question

What are the solutions to the equation (2x – 5)(3x – 1) = 0?

Answer 1

x = 5/2 or x = 1/3

C is the answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 5/2 or x = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify  

( 2 x − 5 )( 3 x − 1 ) .

6 x 2 − 17 x + 5 = 0

Use the quadratic formula to find the solutions.

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

Substitute the values  a = 6 ,  b = − 17 , and  c = 5  into the quadratic formula and solve for  x .

17 ±sqrt(-17)^2-4*(6*5)

2*6

Simplify.

x = 17 ± 13 /12

The final answer is the combination of both solutions.

x = 5 /2 ,  1 /3
