Solve by using the quadratic formula.
15x^2 - 1 = 2x

[tex]15x^2 - 1 = 2x \\\\15x^2-2x - 1 = 0\\ \\a=15, \ \ b=-2 , \ \ c=-1 \\ \\\Delta =b^2-4ac = (-2)^2 -4\cdot 15 \cdot (-1) = 4+60=64 \\ \\x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta} }{2a}=\frac{-(-2)-\sqrt{64}}{2\cdot 15 }=\frac{ 2-8}{30}=\frac{-6}{30}=- \frac{1}{5}\\ \\x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta} }{2a}=\frac{-(-2)+\sqrt{64}}{2\cdot 15 }=\frac{ 2+8}{30}=\frac{10}{30}= \frac{1}{3} [/tex]
