Find the value of x: 2x² + 9x − 5.
Choose the correct choice from the following options:
A) 1/2 B) 1/3 C) 2/3 D) 2/5 E) 3/5
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   1/2
