How do I factor
6x^2-7x+2
-----
Think of two numbers whose product is 2*6 = 12
and whose sum = -7
-----
The numbers are -3 and -4
---------------------------------
Rewrite the problem as:
6x^2 -3x-4x + 2
----
Factor and 1st two and the last two terms separately:
3x(2x-1) -2(2x-1)
----
Factor again:
(2x-1)(3x-2)
