3x^2-x-4=0

OpenStudy (misty1212):

they really got you factoring, don't they?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i took algebra 3 and this is all we are doing is factoring

OpenStudy (misty1212):

algebra 3? i didnt know they had that many algebras?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

neither did i until i went to this school

OpenStudy (misty1212):

try \[(3x-4)(x+1)=0\]

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

You can use quadratic equation also.....

OpenStudy (misty1212):

sure but that is more complicated, my guess is since one factors, they all factor

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

I agree with Misty's factorisation...... that's more easy....

OpenStudy (misty1212):

do you know what to do once you have \[(3x-4)(x+1)=0\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it worked thank you @misty1212

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[\color\magenta\heartsuit\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have one more problem if you don't mind helping :)

OpenStudy (misty1212):

not at all happy to

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[6x^2-13x+6=0\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

bet we can factor this one too huh?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah pretty sure . my problem is trying to figure out what plus what would equal them middle number , and that would also equal the last number if multiplied

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[(2 x-3) (3 x-2) = 0\] seems to work

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

use this b=-13 a=6 and c=6

OpenStudy (misty1212):

it is not that easy to figure out people claim they have methods, but the methods amount to trial an error anyways

OpenStudy (misty1212):

that is why i like to cheat makes life easier this is all donkey work anyways

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you so much for the help :)
