Answer:
(x-5)(3x+1)=0
x= 5, x= -1/3
Explanation:
3x²-14x=5
3x²-14x-5=0
The factor that goes in are 1 and -15 which equal the sum and products.
Sum: -14
Product: -15
Therefore:
3x²+x-15x-5 = 0
Factor by grouping:
x(3x²+x) -5(-15x-5)
x(3x+1) -5(3x+1)
(x-5)(3x+1) = 0
Use Zero Product Property to solve for X
x-5 = 0 3x+1 = 0
x= 5, x= -1/3
