Rewrite in Standard Form: Start by rewriting the equation in standard form, which means getting all terms on one side of the equation and setting it equal to zero.5x2=30x−45Subtract 30x and add 45 to both sides to get:5x2−30x+45=0
Factor the Quadratic: Check if the quadratic equation can be factored. Look for two numbers that multiply to 5×45(225) and add up to −30. The numbers that satisfy these conditions are −15 and −15, since (−15)×(−15)=225 and (−15)+(−15)=−30. So, we can factor the quadratic as: 5x2−30x+45=(5x−15)(x−3)=0
Solve for x: Set each factor equal to zero and solve for x.First factor: 5x−15=0Add 15 to both sides: 5x=15Divide by 5: x=3Second factor: x−3=0Add 3 to both sides: x=3
Check for Errors: Check for any potential math errors in the previous steps. We factored the quadratic correctly and solved for x without making any arithmetic mistakes.
