Question

Answer 1

A. x = 5
b. x = 3.38…

Answer 2

Answer:

$a. \: \: x = 3 \: \: and \: 5$

$b. \: \: x = \frac{5± \sqrt{73} }{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$a. \: \: \: x^2-8x+ 15 = 0 \\ {x}^{2} - 5x - 3x + 15 = 0 \\ x(x - 5) - 3(x - 5) = 0 \\ (x - 3)(x - 5) = 0 \\ x = 3 \: and \: 5$

$b. \: \: 2x^2 - 5x - 6 =0 \\ x = \frac{5± \sqrt{73} }{4}$
