(2x−3)(x+4)=0space, left parenthesis, 2, x, minus, 3, right parenthesis, left parenthesis, x, plus, 4, right parenthesis, equals, 0 let x=ax=ax, equals, a and x=bx=bx, equals, b be the solutions to the equation above. what is the value of -a-b−a−bminus, a, minus, b?
Accepted Solution
A:
(2x - 3) (x + 4) = 0
(2x - 3) = 0 or (x + 4) = 0
2x - 3 = 0 2x = 3 x = 3/2
x + 4 = 0 x = -4
--------------------------------------------------------------- Answer: x = 3/2 Or x = -4 ---------------------------------------------------------------
