6x^2 + 2x - 8 = 0
2(3x^2 + x - 4) = 0
2(3x + 4)(x - 1) = 0 <===

Answer:

The correct option is 1.

Explanation:

The given equation is


6x^2+2x-8=0

Taking out the common factor.


2(3x^2+x-4)=0

Middle term can be written as 4x-3x, to find the factored form of the given equation.


2(3x^2+4x-3x-4)=0


2(x(3x+4)-(3x+4))=0


2(3x+4)(x-1)=0

The factored form of the given equation is 2(3x+4)(x-1)=0. Therefore the correct option is 1.
