Question

Use factoring to solve the quadratic equation. 5x^2 = 22x + 15

Rewrite the equation in factored form

Answer 1

Factored form: (5x + 3)(x - 5) = 0

Solution: x = -3/5 or x = 5

Explanation:

5x² = 22x + 15

5x² - 22x - 15 = 0

(5x + 3)(x - 5) = 0

5x + 3 = 0 or x - 5 = 0

5x = -3 or x = 5

x = -3/5 or x = 5
