ECZ 2016 · GCE Paper 1 — Quadratic Equations
Solve the equation 3x² = 5x.
- A. x = 53only
- B. x = 0 or x = 35
- C. x = ±√(53)
- D. x = 0 or x = 53
Verified working — step 1
Bring everything to one side: 3x² − 5x = 0, so x(3x − 5) = 0. Either x = 0 or 3x = 5, giving x = 0 or x = …The full step-by-step working and final answer are included with Premium — checked against ECZ marking standards.
