Write the equation in standard form. Then factor the left side of the equation. 3x2 + 19x = 14
Solution:
Given: Equation is 3x2 + 19x = 14
This quadratic equation can be written in standard form as
3x2 + 19x - 14 = 0
Let us factorize it by splitting the middle term
3x2 - 2x + 21x - 14 = 0
Take out the common factors
x(3x - 2) + 7(3x - 2) = 0
(3x - 2)(x + 7) = 0
Therefore, the equation in standard form is 3x2 + 19x - 14 = 0 and by factorization we get (3x - 2) (x + 7) = 0.
Write the equation in standard form. Then factor the left side of the equation. 3x2 + 19x = 14
Summary:
The equation in standard form is 3x2 + 19x - 14 = 0 then by factoring the left side of the equation, we get (3x - 2)(x + 7) = 0.
