Question

Factor –6x^2 – x + 2

Plus checking with FOIL

Answer 1

x= 1/2 or x= -2/3

Explanation:

-6x²-x+2=0

-6x²-4x+3x+2=0

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

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

-2x+1=0 or 3x+2=0

x= -1/-2 or x= -2/3

so therefore

x=1/2 0r -2/3

using FOIL method

FIRST: (-2x)(3x)= -6x²

OUTER: (-2x)(2)= -4x

INNER: (1)(3x)= 3x

LAST: (1)(2) =2

-6x²-4x+3x+2
