Question

Solve for the two possible values of x:
(4x - 11) (8x + 19) = 0

Answer 1

Answer:

x= 11/4 and -19/8

Step-by-step explanation:

You would set both (4x-11) and (8x+19) equal to 0

4x-11=0   Add 11 on both sides

4x=11      Divide both sides by 4

x= 11/4

8x+19=0   Subtract 19 on both sides

8x= -19     Divide both sides by 8

x= -19/8

Answer 2

(4x - 11) (8x + 19) = 0

4x-11 =0        8x+19 = 0

4x=11             8x=-19

x=11/4            x=-19/8
