I don't know if the bigger number is negative than its gonna come out negative if both numbers are negative ur gonna get a positive
The solutions of the equation 2x² - 5x - 12 = 0 are x = 4, x = -3/2.
What is an equation?
"I is a mathematical statement which consists of equal symbol between two mathematical expressions."
For given example,
Let 'x' represents a number.
Twelve less than twice the square of a number is equal to the product of -5 and the number.
If we write it in mathematical form, then we get an equation,
⇒12 - 2x^2 = -5x
We need to find the solutions of above equation.
⇒ 12 - 2x² = -5x
⇒ 2x² - 5x - 12 = 0
⇒ 2x² - 8x + 3x - 12 = 0
⇒ 2x(x - 4) + 3(x - 4) = 0
⇒ (x - 4)(2x + 3) = 0
⇒ x - 4 = 0 or 2x + 3 = 0
⇒ x = 4 or x = -3/2
Therefore, the solutions of the equation 2x² - 5x - 12 = 0 are
x = 4, x = -3/2
