Solve a Quadratic Equation by Factoring

Solve by factoring:  2x²+ 7x + 6 = 0

• x= 3/2 and x = 2

• x = -3/2 and x = -2

• x = 6 and x = 7

• x = -6 and x = -7

Solve using the Zero-Product Property.

(x + 4)(x − 3) = 0

• x = 4 and x = −3

• x = 2 and x = 1

• x = −4 and x = 3

• x = −2 and x = 1
