If $(2x+5)(x-3)=14$, find the sum of the possible values of $x$.

x = 1/4 ± 1/4√233

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x + 5)(x - 3) = 14

~Use FOIL on the left side

2x² - 6x + 5x - 15 = 14

~Combine like terms

2x² - x - 15 = 14

~Subtract 14 to both sides

2x² - x - 29 = 0

~Use the quadratic formula and simplify

x = 1/4 ± 1/4√233

Best of Luck!

the square root of what number? if you add that, then someone will probably answer the question.
