Please solve the equation: (2x+1)(3x-2)=55

(2x+ 1)(3x-2) = 55


We need to
find x values that satisfies the equation.


First, let us
expand the brackets.


==> 2x*3x + 1*3x + 2x*-2 + 1*-2
= 55


==> 6x^2 +3x - 4x - 2 =
55


Now we will subtract 55 from both
sides.


==> 6x^2 - x -2 - 55 =
0


==> 6x^2 - x - 57 =
0.


Now we can factor or use the formula to determine the
roots of the quadratic equation.


Let us
factor.


==> (6x-19) ( x +3) =
0


==> (6x-19) = 0 ==> 6x = 19 ==> x =
19/6


==> (x+3) = 0 ==> x =
-3.


Then, there are two possible
solutions.


x = { -3,
19/6}
