-3(4a+3)(2a-1) is the answer I believe

To do this first you need put in the right order:

- 24a^2 - 6a + 9

And make it equal to 0.

- 24a^2 - 6a + 9 = 0

Now, divide by -3:

8a^2 + 2a - 3 = 0

And:

- 3 x 8 = -24

So:

(4a + 3)(2a − 1) = 0

4a + 3 = 0 2a - 1 = 0

4a = -3 2a = 1

a = -3/4 a = 1/2

a = -0.75 a = 0.5
