Answer:
x = - 3, x = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(2x - 1)(x + 3) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 3 = 0 → x = - 3
2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 1 ⇒ x = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
x = 0.5 and -3
We are solving for the two x values (since this is a polynomial)
(2x-1) = 0/(x + 3)
2x - 1 = 0
2x = 1
x = 1/2 = 0.5
And the second x value
(x + 3) = 0 / (2x - 1)
x + 3 = 0
x = -3
