Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Part 1:

Factored: y = (-3x+2)(x+1)

Part 2:

Not exactly sure what the "x" method is after your explaination, so ill just use the quadratic formula.

Quadratic Formula:

x = (-b+/-√(b^2-4ac) )/(2a)

Also:

$x^2=a\\x=b\\2=c$

So if you solve (not showing work):

Your x-ints are:

-1

2/3
