Answer:
E) x= 0 or x= 9/2
Step-by-step explanation:
You have the following equation:
[tex]2x^2-7=7(x-1)+2x[/tex] (1)
In order to find the solutions for x of the equation (1), you simplify it and factorize in a convenient way, as follow:
[tex]2x^2-7=7x-7+2x\\\\2x^2-9x=0\\\\x(2x-9)=0[/tex] (2)
Then, by the previous factors, it is necessary that either x=0 or 2x-9 = 0.
Thus, one of the solution is x=0. The other solution is:
[tex]2x-9=0\\\\x=\frac{9}{2}[/tex]
Hence, the solutions of the equation (1) are:
E) x= 0 or x= 9/2
