Question

How do you factor `15x^2=7x+2`?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

First, we can rewrite this in standard quadratic form:

`15x^2 - color(red)(7x) - color(blue)(2) = 7x - color(red)(7x) + 2 - color(blue)(2)`

`15x^2 - 7x - 2 = 0 + 0`

`15x^2 - 7x - 2 = 0`

Now, we can factor this as:

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