Factor by grouping (sometimes called the ac-method).
5x^2-x-6
----
ac = 5*-6 = -30
b = -1
-----
Note:: -6*5 = -30 ; -6 + 5 = -1
---------
Rewrite the problem::
5x^2 - 6x+5x - 6
-------
Factor the groups::
x(5x-6) + 1(5x-6)
-------
Factor by groups::
(5x-6)(x+1)
-----------------

Factor by grouping (sometimes called the ac-method).
5x^2-x-6
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Simple trick: I will present 6 = 5 + 1, and then . . . = = = = 5*(x-1)*(x+1) - (x+1) = (x+1)*(5x-5-1) = (x+1)*(5x-6). Done.
