Question

solve by factoring: 16-11x+12x^2=0???????
what are the steps? i can't seem to factor it out since the 11 messes me up

Answer 1

first rewrite in standard form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
find a*c
what are the factors of (ac) that add up to bx and pay attention to the signs

post what you have before I continue

Answer 2

do you have the x^2 in the correct place

it will make a big difference .

please verify the correct problem !

Answer 3

b is -11
b^2 - 4ac is negative and therefore the quadratic has no real solutions
