Asked by tasheenatalie

Answer (2)

2x²-x-3=0 Factor this equation: (2x-3)(x+1)=0 Then let each factor equal to 0 to solve for x 2x-3=0 and x+1=0 2x=3 x= -1 x= 3/2 The equation is solved by factoring

To solve the equation 2 x 2 − x − 3 = 0 by factoring, we rewrite it as ( 2 x − 3 ) ( x + 1 ) = 0 . Setting each factor equal to zero gives the solutions x = 2 3 ​ and x = − 1 . Therefore, the solutions of the equation are x = 2 3 ​ and x = − 1 .
