How do you solve the equation: #2x^2+15x=0#? Algebra Quadratic Equations and Functions Comparing Methods for Solving Quadratics 1 Answer Alan P. Jun 26, 2015 #x=0# or #x=-15/2# Explanation: factor the left side of #2x^2+15 =0# to get #color(white)("XXXX")##(x)(2x+15)=0# Either #color(white)("XXXX")##x=0# or #color(white)("XXXX")##2x+15 = 0# #color(white)("XXXX")#which would imply #color(white)("XXXX")##color(white)("XXXX")##x=-15/2# Answer link Related questions What are the different methods for solving quadratic equations?
