Question 389645: Solving Quadratic Equations by factoring (when first cioefficient is negative).
pls walk me thru each step:
-5x^2 + 2x +3 = 0
i know we multiply by -1 to change each sign:
5x^2 -2x -3. then we factor. but I am being told that the factors are
(5x + 3) (x - 1) = 0. I do not understand this. Why isn't it -3, & +1???
I just don't understand the answer to be x = - 3/5 or x = 1, Seems it should be the opposite.

thank you
