Solve the equation

Question

Solve the equation.

 

(2r + 1 )( r -2 ) = - (3r -6 )

Answer 1

I like answers above, but want to give another approach, this is algebra any way.
(2r + 1)(r - 2) = - (3r - 6)
(2r + 1)(r - 2) + (3r - 6) = 0
(2r + 1)(r - 2) + 3(r - 2) = 0 , factor out (r - 2)
(r - 2)(2r + 1 + 3) = 0
(r - 2)(2r + 4) = 0 , factor out 2
2(r - 2)(r + 2) = 0
Product equal zero if at least one factor equal zero.
r_1,2 = ±2

Answer 2

(2r + 1)(r - 2) = -(3r - 6)

2r² - 4r + r - 2 = -3r + 6

2r² - 3r - 2 = -3r + 6

2r² - 3r + 3r - 2 - 6 = 0

2r² - 8 = 0

(2r² - 8) / 2 = 0 / 2

r² - 4 = 0

r² = 4

r = ± 2

 

 

Answer 3

Expand and simplify,

2r² - 3r - 2 = -3r + 6

r² = 4

r = +/- 2 <==Answer

Answer 4

(2r + 1 )( r -2 ) = - (3r -6 )

2r²+ r-4r-2 = -3r+6

2r²-3r-2=-3r+6

2r²=8

r²=4

Thus r= +2 or -2

Answer 5

2r^2 + r - 4r -2 + 3r -6 = 0 = 2r^2 - 8 = (2r + 4)(r - 2)

r = 2 or -2
