Question

factorise: 12x^2-7x+1​

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = \frac{1}{4} and \frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$12 {x}^{2} - 7x + 1$

$12 {x}^{2} - 4x - 3x + 1$

$4x(3x - 1) - 1(3x - 1)$

$(4x - 1)(3x - 1) = 0$

$4x - 1 = 0$

$4x = 1$

$x = \frac{1}{4}$

$3x - 1 = 0$

$3x = 1$

$x = \frac{1}{3}$

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 1/4

x = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

12x² - 7x + 1

12x² - 4x - 3x + 1

4x(3x - 1) -1(3x - 1)

(4x-1) (3x-1)

4x - 1 = 0 3x - 1 = 0

4x = 1 3x = 1

x = 1/4 x = 1/3
