Question

20 points! How do I factor 18x^2-9x-2

Using the Trail and Error Method?




Thank you! (By the way, I have two more factoring problems after this, please help.)

Answer 1

So, I guess you could say that what 2 numbers multiplied make 18; 6 and 3; for example.

And then what two numbers when multiplied get -2 for example; 1,-2

Now you put it in parentheses YOUR ANSWER: (6x+1)(3x-2)
