OpenStudy (alekos):

do you know how to factorise a quadratic?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, would be D and E becausebthats what adds up to -7

OpenStudy (alekos):

No. In actual fact it's none of the above!?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's what I thought but that's not an option

OpenStudy (alekos):

then the original equation is incorrect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It 3x^2-7x-3=x

OpenStudy (alekos):

ah! that's very different. so we have 3x^2 - 8x - 3 = 0 can you factorise?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, do I just factor it?

OpenStudy (alekos):

yes, of course
