Answer:

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

Explanation:

Factorization is the process of taking like terms out of number such that one can rewrite an expression by its factors, or as the products of serval smaller expressions.

The first step to factoring an equation is to rewrite the linear term as the sum or difference of two other linear terms. One must do this in such as way that it shares a common factor with one of the other terms in the expression.


12x^2 -x - 6


12x^2 -9x + 8x - 6

Take out the common factor,


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

Factor,


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