Question
Solve the following quadratic equations by factorization:
3x2 = -11x - 10
Advertisements
Solution
We have been given
3x2 = -11x - 10
3x2 + 11x + 10 = 0
3x2 + 6x + 5x + 10 = 0
3x(x + 2) + 5(x + 2) = 0
(x + 2)(3x + 5) = 0
Therefore,
3x + 5 = 0
3x = -5
x = -5/3
or,
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
Hence, x = -5/3 or x = -2
