Hey guys please help me, what are the factors of -7x+3

Question

luigi0210 · Answer

Uhm, the only thing that can really be factored is -1..
$$\LARGE -1(7x-3)$$

anonymous · Answer

hmm...actually the whole thing is 4x^2-7x+3

***[isuru]*** · Answer

4x^2 - 7x  + 3

= 4x^2  - 4x - 3x +3

= 4x ( x -  1) -3 ( x - 1)

= ( 4x - 3 ) ( x -1)

this can be factorized in the above way :)

anonymous · Answer

so what happens to 7x

***[isuru]*** · Answer

if u wan to factorized it step by step..
  first u need to find a pair of factor which will multiply gave 12 ( the multiplication of the constant by the coefficient of x^2) and will add up to gave 7 ( the coefficient of x)

***[isuru]*** · Answer

u can c that -4 and -3 will multiply to give +12 and add up to give -7

anonymous · Answer

becuase I was looking for a pair that will give me a product of 3 and add up to give -7

***[isuru]*** · Answer

nope the product should give u the
      multiplication of
                 constant x ( coefficient of x^2)
 not just the constant (3)
         which is
                3 x 4 = 12
