step 1 Use the sum-product pattern
3x²-x-4
3x² + 3x-4x - 4
step 2 Common factor from the two pairs
3x² + 3x - 4x - 4
3x(x + 1) 4(x + 1) -
step 3 Rewrite in factored form
3x(x + 1) - 4(x + 1)
(3x − 4)(x + 1)
Solution
(3x − 4)(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:
-4 should be multiplied with 3 and by adding its factor, it should be -1.
this implies when you add the factors - 4 and 3 you will get -1.
the next step you should check whether x² has any coefficients if it has any coefficient you should divide the coefficient by the factor and multiply x before that.
See x (-4/3 ) , x ( 3/3 )
= (3x-4)(x+1)
