Solve 6x^2-5x+1=0

OpenStudy (ash2326):

6x^2-5x+1=0 standard equation is ax^2+bx+c=0 first see the product of a and b here it is 6 find factors of 6 which have a difference or sum of 5 -3 and -2 , sum is -5 product is 6 6x^2-5x+1=0 6x^2-3x-2x+1=0 3x(2x-1)-1(2x-1)=0 (3x-1)(2x-1)=0 x=1/3 and 1/2

OpenStudy (amistre64):

+ means we add, - means they are both - *6 means we /6 later (x- /6) (x- /6) 6*1 = 6 3*2 = 6; 3+2 = 5 (x- 3/6) (x- 2/6) (x- 1/2) (x- 1/3) (2x- 1) (3x- 1)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

lol ... i factored instead :) yeah, x=1/2 or 1/3
