Solving Quadratic Equations: Factoring

Question 6 • FL-1200700-Mathematics for College Algebra MIS

What are the solutions of the equation 4x2 + 3x = 24 – x?

Answer
A
–3, 2, or 4
B
–3 or 2
C
–2, 3, or 4
D
–2 or 3

Explanation

Move all terms to one side: 4x² + 3x = 24 − x becomes 4x² + 4x − 24 = 0. Divide by 4 to get x² + x − 6 = 0, which factors as (x + 3)(x − 2) = 0. Thus x = −3 or x = 2, matching choice B: −3 or 2.
