From given equation find the value of x: 2x² + 9x − 5	Choose the most appropriate option.
A) −5 B) -4 C) -3 D) 3 E) 4
That quadratic is factored as follows:   2x² + 9x − 5 = (2x − 1)(x + 5).   Lesson 17.   Now, it is easy to see that the second factor will be 0 when x = −5.   As for the value of x that will make   2x − 1 = 0,   we must solve that little equation. (Lesson 9.)   We have:   2x = 1   x = 1   2   The solutions are:   x = 1/2 or −5   −5
