Answer:
-3/5,2
Step-by-step explanation:
By splitting the middle term method,
Product of the constant and x^2 term
= 5x^2 * -6 = -30x^2
Splitting -7x in two numbers so that their product is -30x^2
Tharerfore, -10x + 3x = -7x
-10x * 3x = -30x^2
5x^2-10x+3x-6=0
5x(x-2)+3(x-2)=0
(5x+3)(x-2)=0
therefore, 5x+3=0
5x=-3
x=-3/5
x-2=0
x=2
Therefore, the roots are -3/5 and 2
