(5x−3)(x+2)=0
open paren 5 x minus 3 close paren times open paren x plus 2 close paren is equal to 0

(2x−3)(x+5)=0
open paren 2 x minus 3 close paren times open paren x plus 5 close paren is equal to 0

(2x−3)(x−5)=0
open paren 2 x minus 3 close paren times open paren x minus 5 close paren is equal to 0

(5x−3)(x−2)=0

Answer 1

(2x − 3)(x + 5) = 0

Check: (2x − 3)(x + 5) = 2x^2 + 10x − 3x − 15 = 2x^2 + 7x − 15.
