Advertisements
Solution
a2x2 - 3abx + 2b2 = 0
`"x"^2 - 3 "b"/"a" "x" + 2 ("b"/"a")^2 = 0`
`"x"^2 - "b"/"a" "x" - 2 "b" / "a" "x" + 2 ("b"/"a")^2 = 0`
`"x"("x" - "b"/"a") - 2 "b" / "a" ("x" - "b"/"a") = 0`
`("x" - "b"/"a") ("x" - 2 "b"/"a") = 0`
`("x" - "b"/"a") = 0` , `("x" - 2 "b"/"a") = 0`
x = `"b"/"a"` , x = `2 "b" / "a"`
