Question

Factor completely.
6x2 – 30x + 24 =

Answer 1

The new equation would be

6(x-4)(x-1)

Explanation:

First you divide all terms by 6 so you get

6 ( x²-5x+4)

Then ask: Which two numbers add up to -5 and multiply to 4?

-4 and -1.

Then rewrite the expression

(x-4)(x-1)

don't forget to add the 6 you divided in the beginning!

6(x-4)(x-1)
