Question

6x^2-5x-4=0
solving quadratics by factoring (answer with {} around it)

Answer 1

Explanation:

6x²–5x–4 = 0

6×4 = 24..

write many ways 24 can be written..

24 = (6×4), (1×24), (12×2), (8×3)

(8×3) --> –8+3 = –5

6x²+3x–8x–4 = 0

6x(x+½)–8(x+½) = 0

(6x–8)(x+½) = 0

6x–8 = 0, x+½ = 0

6x = 8, x = –½

x = 4/3, –½
