What are the solutions to this equation?
(3x-2)(5x+1)=0

• x=5/2,-1/3
• x=1/5,-2/3
• x=1/3,-5/2
• x=2/3,-1/5

Solve for x.  Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.
x² + 18 = 9x

• x = 3, 6
• x = -3, -6
• x = -3, 6
• x = -6, 3

Solve for x.  Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.
x² - 10x = -25

• x = 5
• x = -5
• x = -5, 5
• x = 25

Solve for x.  Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.
x² + 11x + 5 = -5

• x = -1, -10
• x = 1, 10
• x = 0, 11
• x = 0, -11

Solve using the quadratic formula.
2x² - 9x - 35 = 0

• x = 7/2, x = -6
• x = -5/2, x =5
