Answer:

(x-6) (2x+1)

Explanation:

1) move everything over to the left side, so subtract 11x and 6.

2x^2 -11x - 6 = 0

2)multiply 2(a term) with -6 (c term)

x^2 -11x -12

3) factor and find what multiples to -12 and adds up to -11. in this case its -12 and positive 1

(x-12) (x+1)

4) divide -12 and 1 by the original a term (2)

(x-6) (x+1/2)

5) move the denominator of 2 over to the x.

(x-6) (2x+1)
