Question #N366
The equation $2x^2 - 5x + 3 = 0$ has two solutions. What is the sum of these solutions?
A. -\frac{5}{2}
B. \frac{5}{2}
C. -\frac{3}{2}
D. \frac{3}{2}
Correct Answer is: B
For a quadratic equation in the form $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$, the sum of the solutions is given by -b/a. In this case, a = 2 and b = -5, so the sum of the solutions is -(-5)/2 = 5/2.
