Question

factorise 6x2-10x+8 by splitting the middle number

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$6 {x}^{2} - 10x + 8 = 0$

Dividing whole equation by 2,

$3 {x}^{2} - 5x + 4 = 0$

$3 {x}^{2} - 3x -4 x + 4 = 0$

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

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

$x = \frac{4}{3} \: \: \: or \: \: \: 1$
