One solution of the equation 6x2 − 19x + 3 = 0 is 1/6 . What is the other solution?

Question

jim766 · Answer

6x^2 - 19x + 3     do you know how to factor this? or how to start?

can you walk me through it?

jim766 · Answer

6x^2 - 19x  + 3       first ask yourself how to   mult 2 #s and get 6x^2

(6x              )( x               )       then ask how you can mult 2 #'s and get 3

(6x          1  )( x           3  )

jim766 · Answer

(6x -1 )( x   - 3)   = 0

think about when you foil....we are just kind of working it backwards

jim766 · Answer

make any sense at all/

anonymous · Answer

idk how to foil. but it kinda makes sense

jim766 · Answer

(6x -1)(x -3) = 0  now you can use the zero product poperty

6x-1 = 0    or   x -3 = 0
    +1   +1            +3   +3
6x  = 1              x    =  3
x = 1/6
