{6x}^(2) + 7x - 3 \\ \\ {6x}^(2) + 9x - 2x - 3 \\ \\ ( {6x}^(2) + 9x) - (2x + 3) \\ \\ 3x(2x + 3) - 1(2x + 3) \\ \\ (3x - 1)(2x + 3).

  • Factoring a quadratic equation can be defined as the process of breaking the equation into the product of its factors.


\:❏ \: \: \LARGE{\rm{{{\color{orange}{6 {x }^(2) \: + \: 7x \: - 3}}}}}

  • Factorize the equation by breaking down the middle term.


\large \blue\implies \tt \large \: 6 {x }^(2) \: + \: 7x \: - 3

  • Let’s identify two factors such that their sum is 7 and the product is -18.

Sum of two factors = 7 = 9 - 2

Product of these two factors = 9 × (-2) = 18

  • Now, split the middle term.


\large \blue\implies \tt \large \:6 {x}^(2) \: + \: 9x \: - \: 2x \: - \: 3

  • Take the common terms and simplify.


\: \\ \large\blue\implies \tt \large \:3x(2x \: + \: 3)\: -1(2x \: + \: 3)


\\ \large\blue\implies \tt \large \:(3x \: - \:1 ) \quad \: (2x \: + \: 3) \: = \: 0

Thus, (3x - 1) and (2x + 3) are the factors of the given quadratic equation.

  • Solving these two linear factors, we get


\large\blue\implies \tt \large \:x \: = \: (1)/(3) \: \: , \: \: ( - 3)/(2) \\
