I have solved it there !

mertsj · Answer

Multiply each of the answers and see which answer is the trinomial you are supposed to factor.

mertsj · Answer

Or you could think of two numbers who product is -6 and whose sum is 5 and use those.

radar · Answer

Here is what we know.   Since it is a -6 (at the end)  The signs will be different.  We also see that +5x is positive, then the larger factor of 6 will be  positive.
Finally factors of 6 are (3, -2) (6, -1)  which of these will work.

anonymous · Answer

(3, -2)?

radar · Answer

The middle 2 can't work, as the  results of the addition will not be positive for the  +5x

radar · Answer

The last one can't be, as it sums up a positive, but not a +5   It sums up to a +1.
