factor 10X^2+11X-6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10 breaks down to 5 x 2 6 breaks down to 3 x 2 3 x 5 = 15 2 x 2 = 4 difference is 11, Ah, then we have a solution 10x^2 - 11x - 6 = 0 (5x + 2)(2x - 3) = 0

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

break down the middle term... \[\implies 10x^2 + 15x - 4x + 6\] then factor out

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

@samstopp you did the breaking down wrong

(5x+2)(2x-3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10 * -6 = -60. Factors of -60 that add to make 11: 15 and -4.
