Answer:
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(5x2 - 6x) - 2 = 0
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 5x2-6x-2
The first term is, 5x2 its coefficient is 5 .
The middle term is, -6x its coefficient is -6 .
The last term, "the constant", is -2
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 5 • -2 = -10
Step-2 : Find two factors of -10 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -6 .
-10 + 1 = -9
-5 + 2 = -3
-2 + 5 = 3
-1 + 10 = 9
Observation : No two such factors can be found
