OpenStudy (apoorvk):

let's multiply the whole thing by 3 to make it easier.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so do v get...21y^2-11y-2??

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

yes!, but since I have multiplied this by '3', i would multiply the RHS by 3 as well. But the RHS is '0'. So, 3 x 0 = 0 hence no probs with the multiplication! now split the middle term..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

product=-42, sum -11. giv me de middle termz no

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

product or sum is not needed in this case. 21y^2-11y-2 = 0 factors of 21 are 7 and 3, and factor of 2 is 2 itself. so, I have these factors of the equations's 'a' and 'c' --> 3,7,2 now let me group this into two such that deducting them would give me 'b', i.e. '-11' I think 7,2 in one, and 2 in another should work. what say?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

Understandable?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup u r awsome dude

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wht

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bt i admire u

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

i mean i made a mistake in the last line of the the solution *CORRECTION* I mean - "I think 7,2 in one, and *3 in another"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anyway k i'll do dnt worry

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

No, I think you're 'weak' in English, not maths :P :P
