Answer:
x = - 5 ; x = 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by subtracting 15 from both sides to get to an equation in standard form: a x^2 + b x + c= 0 so we can use the quadratic formula to solve for "x".
2 x^2 + 7x - 15 = 0
Then:
[tex]x=\frac{-7+/-\sqrt{49-4(2)(-15)} }{4} \\x=\frac{-7+/-\sqrt{169} }{4}\\x=\frac{-7+/-13}{4}\\x =-5\\or\\x=3/2[/tex]
