Answer:

C) Factor 6 out of the variable terms.

Explanation:

6x^2 + 24x + 5 = 0

6x^2 + 24x = -5

The next is to factor out 6. because the coefficient of x^2 must be perfect square number. 6 is not perfect square, so we have to factor out 6.

6(x^2 + 4x) = -5

x^2 + 4x = -5/6

Answer: C) Factor 6 out of the variable terms.

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.
