3x² + 10x = 8 : 3x² + 10x - 8 = 0

Solving for the roots of a quadratic equation gives :

x = [-10 ± √(100 + 96)] ÷ 6 = [-10 ± √196] ÷ 6 = [-10 ± 14] ÷ 6

So x = 4/6 = 2/3 and x = -24/6 = -4

x = 2/3 and x = -4

How do you solve 3x2 plus 10x equals 8 by factoring?

3x² + 10x = 8 Rewrite as: 3x² + 10x - 8 = 0 The only way to get 3x² is 3x and x (3x + -- ) (x + --) The factors of 8 are {1 2 4 8} so the answers must be a pair of them. With 4 factors, and a negative sign (the -8), there are only 8 ways this can be written: (3x + 1)(x - 8) = 3x² - 23x - 8 (3x + 2)(x - 4) = 3x² -10x - 8 (almost) (3x + 4 )(x - 2) = 3x² - 8x - 8 (3x + 8)(x - 1) = 3x² +5x - 8 (3x - 1)(x + 8) = 3x² +23x - 8 (3x - 2)(x + 4) = 3x² + 10x -8 ◄ Success! (3x - 4)(x + 2) = 3x² +2x - 8 (3x - 8)(x + 1) = 3x² -5x - 8 Trial and error, error, error, is the key to this kind of problem. Seeing the -10x early can point you to see that maybe changing the signs can work. ■
