Question

Solve the quadratic equations by factorization:-
(2x+3)(3x7)=0

Open in App
Solution

This is a product of two expressions that is equal to zero. Note that any x value that makes either (2x+3) or (3x7) zero, will make their product zero.

So now by putting (2x+3) and (3x7) equal to zero, we get

2x+3=0

2x+33=03

2x=3

x=32

similarly,

3x7=0

x=73

So now substituting either x=-3/2 or x=7/3 into the equation will result in the true statement 0=0, so they are both solutions to the equation.
