Question

how do you factor this equation 6x^2 - 55x - 50 also explain in a couple of sentences how you would factor if you could

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

multiply coffecient of x² to coffecient of x⁰

i.e. 6 x 50 = 300

step 2

do factor of 300 which is

2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 5 = 300

step 3

now make a equation of above factor in which after solving them answer is equal to middle term (-55x) and product of them equal to 300

6x² - 60x + 5x - 50

6x(x - 10) + 5(x - 10)

(x - 10)(6x+ 5)

step 4

put solution equal to zero

then values of x will be

X = 10 and -⅚.
