To factor the left hand side of the equation into two linear factors, we write the equation in standard form:
6x^2 - 31x + 5 = 0
We need to find two numbers that multiply to give 5 * 6 = 30 and add to give -31.
The numbers that satisfy these conditions are -30 and -1.
So, we can write the equation as:
(2x - 1)(3x - 5) = 0
Thus, the left hand side of the equation is factored into two linear factors, (2x - 1) and (3x - 5).
Consider the following quadratic equation:
6x^2=31x−5
Step 1 of 2 : Using the standard form ax2+bx+c=0
of the given quadratic equation, factor the left hand side of the equation into two linear factors.
