Question

If 3x-5 is a factor of 6x^2 -5x +k, find the value of k

Answer 1

Solve for k.

3x−5 = 6x^2−5x+k

I'll let you work out the math.

Answer 2

Let's solve for k.

3x−5=6x^2−5x+k

Step 1: Flip the equation.

6x^2+k−5x=3x−5

Step 2: Add -6x^2 to both sides.

6x^2+k−5x+−6x^2=3x−5+−6x^2

k−5x=−6x^2+3x−5

Step 3: Add 5x to both sides.

k−5x+5x=−6x^2+3x−5+5x

So, the answer is k=−6x^2+8x−5.
