Answer:
x = (5/3)
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]3x^2 -2x - 5 =0\\\\(3x^2+3x) + (-5x - 5) = 0\\\\(3x-5)(x+1)=0\\\\\left \{ {{3x-5=0} \atop {x+1=0}} \right.\\\\===========\\\\3x - 5 = 0\\\\3x - 5 + 5 = 0 + 5\\\\3x = 5\\\\\frac{3x=5}{3}\\\\x = \frac{5}{3}\\\\===========\\\\x + 1 = 0\\\\x + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1\\\\x = -1 \\\\===========\\\\\boxed{\text{Therefore:}}\\\\\boxed{ x = \frac{5}{3} \text { or } x = -1}[/tex]
You would just need to solve the two equations from step three for 'x'.
Hope this helps you.
