Step-by-step explanation:
6x^2+40=31x.
6x^2-31x+40=0
The first term is, 6x2 its coefficient is 6 .
The middle term is, -31x its coefficient is -31 .
The last term, "the constant", is +40
multiply both first term coefficient and the constant
so,6×40=240.
now find the factors of 240 whose sum is (-31).
-16 + -15 = -31
now split the middle term in accordance with the factors that we got above.
6x^2-16x-15x+40=0.
=》2x(3x-8)5(3x-8)
=》(2x-5)(3x-8) =0.
=》2x-5=0 (or) 3x-8=0.
=》2x=+5 (or) 3x = 8
=》x=5/2 (or) x= 8/3.
