Answer: The correct options are

(B)
x=-(5)/(3)

(C)
x=(1)/(2).

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the solutions to the following quadratic equation :


6x^2+7x-5=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

We need to find two integers with sum 7 and product -30.

The solution of equation (i) is as follows :


6x^2+7x-5=0\\\\\Rightarrow 6x^2+(10-3)x-5=0\\\\\Rightarrow 6x^2+10x-3x-5=0\\\\\Rightarrow 2x(3x+5)-1(3x+5)=0\\\\\Rightarrow (2x-1)(3x+5)=0\\\\\Rightarrow 2x-1=0,~~~~~3x+5=0\\\\\Rightarrow x=(1)/(2),-(5)/(3).

Thus, the required solutions of the given equation are
x=(1)/(2),-(5)/(3).

Options (B) and (C) are CORRECT.
