To do this set each of the factors to 0:
2x - 1 = 0
2x = 1
x = 1/2
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
Hope this helps!
Do you have a picture of the whole question?
Every angle of a square equals 90 degrees.
2x - 4 = 90 3y + 6 = 90
2x = 90 + 4 3y = 90 - 6
2x = 94 3y = 84
x = 94/2 y = 84/3
x = 47 y = 28
so x = 47 and y = 28
You plug in the number for x and if it is equal to the solution then it is correct
