Answer:

20x^2 -x(15-8)-6=0 here 6×20=120an by subtracting 15-8 we got seven where the 15×8 is also 120

Explanation:

now,

20x^2 -15x+8x -6 =0 (here -×-is equal to +thus we write +8)

5x(4x-3) +2(4x-3)=0

(5x+2) (4x-3)=0

Either 5x=-2

X=-2/5

Or

4x=3

X=3/4

Answer:

x = -2/5

x = 3/4

Explanation:

Factoring:

20x²-7x-6=0

20x²+8x - 15x - 6 = 0

4x * (5x + 2) - 3 * (5x + 2) = 0

(5x + 2) * (4x - 3) = 0


Cases:

5x + 2 = 0

4x - 3 = 0

x = -2/5

x = 3/4
