Question

factorise the 6 X square + 17 X + 5 and how

Answer 1

Solution: 6x^2+17x+5
= 6x^2+2x+15x+5
= 2x(3x+1) +5(3x+1)
= (3x+1) (2x+5)
Now, equate to 0.
3x+1=0
x= -1/3
and, 2x+5=0
x=-5/2

Answer 2

Hey there!

$6x^2 + 17x + 5\\ =6x^2 + (2+15)x + 5\\=6x^2 + 2x + 15x + 5\\=2x(3x+1) + 5(3x+1)\\=\boxed{\boxed{\bold{(3x+1)(2x+5)}}}$
