Answer 2

X = -1/16, 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

48x² -13x -1 = 0

Factors of -48 are -16 and +3.

So 48x² -13x -1 = 0 can be written as:

48x² -16x +3x -1 = 0

16x (3x -1) +1 (3x -1) = 0

(16x + 1) (3x - 1) = 0

So the factors are (16x + 1) and (3x - 1).

If 16x + 1 = 0, then x = -1/16

If 3x - 1 = 0, then x = +1/3

Hence solved.

X = -1/16, 1/3
