Answer:

x = 1/4 ± 1/4√233

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x + 5)(x - 3) = 14

~Use FOIL on the left side

2x² - 6x + 5x - 15 = 14

~Combine like terms

2x² - x - 15 = 14

~Subtract 14 to both sides

2x² - x - 29 = 0

~Use the quadratic formula and simplify

x = 1/4 ± 1/4√233

Best of Luck!

1 - 3x = 3x + 1 solve for x
lakkis [162]

Answer: x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - 3x = 3x + 1

then add 3x on both sides

1 = 6x + 1

then subtract 1 on both sides

0 = 6x

then divide by 6 on both sides

0 = x

so x = 0
