First try to solve the equation by factoring. If you are unable to solve the equation by factoring, solve the equation by using the quadratic formula. For equations with solutions that are irrational numbers, give exact solutions and approximate solutions to the nearest thousandth.

42y^2 − 6 = 29y

3 answers

42y^2 − 6 = 29y
42y^2 - 29y - 6 = 0
(6y+1)(7y-6) = 0
...
are the final answers are 0.808301, -0.117825
Oh, please!
(6y+1)(7y-6) = 0
so, either
6y+1 = 0
y = -1/6
or
7y-6 = 0
y = 6/7
