Q. Solve for x x . Enter the solutions from least to greatest.\newline2x22x180=0 lesser x= greater x= \begin{array}{l} 2 x^{2}-2 x-180=0 \\ \text { lesser } x=\square \\ \text { greater } x=\square \end{array}
  1. Write Equation: Write down the given quadratic equation.\newline2x22x180=02x^2 - 2x - 180 = 0\newlineWe need to find the values of xx that satisfy this equation.
  2. Factor Out GCF: Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from the quadratic equation.\newlineThe GCF of 2x22x^2, 2x-2x, and 180-180 is 22. So we factor out 22 from each term.\newline2(x2x90)=02(x^2 - x - 90) = 0
  3. Set Expression to Zero: Set the factored expression equal to zero and solve for xx.\newlineSince 22 is not equal to zero, we can ignore it for now and focus on the quadratic expression in the parentheses.\newlinex2x90=0x^2 - x - 90 = 0
  4. Factor Expression: Factor the quadratic expression.\newlineWe need to find two numbers that multiply to 90-90 and add up to 1-1. These numbers are 10-10 and 99.\newline(x10)(x+9)=0(x - 10)(x + 9) = 0
  5. Solve for x: Set each factor equal to zero and solve for x.\newlinex10=0x - 10 = 0 or x+9=0x + 9 = 0\newlineSolving each equation for x gives us:\newlinex=10x = 10 or x=9x = -9
  6. Write Solutions: Write the solutions in ascending order.\newlineThe lesser value of x is 9-9, and the greater value of x is 1010.
