Solve the following quadratic equation by rearranging and then factorising x^2 + 3x - 15 = 2x - 13

Answer :

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 3x - 15 = 2x - 13

x² + x - 2 = 0

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

By zero product rule, (x + 2) = 0 or (x - 1) = 0.

Hence x = -2 or x = 1.

Answer:

x = -2   & x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 3x - 15 = 2x - 13 so you takeaway 2x and add 13 to the other side to get x^2 + x - 2 = 0

(x+2)(x-1) = 0 find factors of -2 that get you x

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