Use the zero product property to find the solutions to the equation 2 x squared plus x minus 1 is equal to 2

First subtract 2 from both sides to get 2x² + x − 3 = 0. Factor the quadratic as (2x + 3)(x − 1) = 0. By the zero product property, 2x + 3 = 0 or x − 1 = 0, so x = −3/2 or x = 1. These are the solutions in choice A.
