The sum of all possible values of x satisfying the equation 24x2 - 22x2+x+16 + 22x+30 = 0, is
Explanation:
Given, 24x2 - 22x2+x+16 + 22x+30 = 0
⇒ 22x22 - 2×22x2×2x+15 + 2x+152 = 0
⇒ 22x2-2x+152 = 0
⇒ 22x2 = 2x+15
⇒ 2x2 = x + 15
⇒ 2x2 - x - 15 = 0
⇒ (2x + 5)(x - 3) = 0
⇒ x = -5/2 or 3.
Sum of all possible values of x = 3 + (-5/2) = 1/2
Hence, option (d).
