You could solve this problem by either: Factoring or by using the Quadratic Formula.
SOLVING BY FACTORING STEPS
<em>STEP 1:</em><em> Move (2x−1)(x+1) to the left side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides.</em>
<em />
<em>STEP 2:</em><em> Simplify 2x^2+3x−(2x−1)(x+1).</em>
<em />
<em>STEP 3: </em><em>Simplify each term.</em>
<em />
<em>STEP 4: </em><em>Simplify by adding terms.</em>
<em />
<em>STEP 5:</em><em> Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation.</em>
<em />
<em>STEP 6: </em><em>Divide each term by 2 and simplify.</em>
