Answer
4(2x - 3)2 - (2x - 3) - 14 = 0
⇒ 4(4x2 + 9 - 12x) - 2x + 3 - 14 = 0
⇒ 16x2 + 36 - 48x - 2x - 11 = 0
⇒ 16x2 - 50x + 25 = 0
⇒ 16x2 - 40x - 10x + 25 = 0
⇒ 8x(2x - 5) - 5(2x - 5) = 0
⇒ (8x - 5)(2x - 5) = 0
⇒ 8x - 5 = 0 or 2x - 5 = 0 [Using Zero-product rule]
⇒ 8x = 5 or 2x = 5
⇒ x = or x = .
Hence, x = .
