Question

What are the solutions to the equation (2x – 5)(3x – 1) = 0? x= 5 or x + 1

Answer 1

see explanation

Explanation:

Given

(2x - 5)(3x - 1) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x - 5 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 5 ⇒ x =
`(5)/(2)`

3x - 1 = 0 ⇒ 3x = 1 ⇒ x =
`(1)/(3)`

Solutions are x =
`(5)/(2)` or x =
`(1)/(3)`
