Use the work shown to find the solutions of the quadratic equation. x2 – x –3/4=0 x2 – x = 3/4

x = - , x =

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - x - = 0

Multiply through by 4 to clear the fraction

4x² - 4x - 3 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 4 × - 3 = - 12 and sum = - 4

The factors are + 2 and - 6

Use these factors to split the x- term

4x² + 2x - 6x - 3 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(2x + 1) - 3(2x + 1) = 0 ← factor out (2x + 1) from each term

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

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x + 1 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 1 ⇒ x = -

2x - 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 3 ⇒ x =

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
