Solved the equation \(2x^2 – x – 6\) = 0

  • x = \(\frac{-3}{2}\) or 2 checkmark
  • x = -2 or \(\frac{3}{2}\)
  • x = -3 or 2
  • x = 3 or -2

The correct answer is: A

Explanation


\(2x^2 - x - 6\) = 0

\(2x^2 - 4x + 3x - 6\) = 0

2x(x - 2) + 3(x - 2) = 0

(2x + 3) (x - 2) = 0

Either; 2x + 3 = 0 or x - 2 = 0

x = \(\frac{-3}{2}\) or x = 2
