Answer:
x = 3 or 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
3x^2 - 10x + 3 = 0
- => first step
take 3 from 3x^2 & 3 => 3×3 = 9
- second step
prime factors of 9 => 3,3,1
- third step
arrange 3,3,1 such that on addition or subtraction it gives -10 ( bcoz -10x is given)
=> -9 - 1 = -10
now
factorise
=> 3x^2 -10x + 3 = 0
=> 3x^2 - 9x - x + 3 = 0
=> 3x( x - 3) - 1 (x - 3) = 0
=> (3x - 1) (x-3) = 0
=> (3x - 1) = 0 or (x-3) = 0
=> 3x = 0+1 or x = 1/3 ( from 1st expression)
&
x = 0+3 => x = 3 (from 2nd expression)
