Factor the quadratic expression completely. 2 x 2 + 7 x + 3 = 2x 2 +7x+3=

x=-1/2,x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2+7x+3=0

Multiply the coefficient of x,that is 2 by 3 to get 6.

The two values which when added gives 7 and when multiplied gives 6 is 1 and 6

2x^2+x+6x+3=0

x(2x+1)+3(2x+1)=0

(2x+1)(x+3)=0

2x+1=0

x=-1/2 and

x+3=0

x=-3
