Algebra.Com's Answer #697937 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 6y^2-y-51 turns into y^2-y-306 \n" ); document.write( "Factor that into (y-18)(y+17), then divide the constant by 6 and reduce fully to (y-3)(y+17/6) \n" ); document.write( "the factors then are (y-3) and (6y+17) \n" ); document.write( "A=2 \n" ); document.write( "B=17 \n" ); document.write( "C=3 \n" ); document.write( "(AC)^2=36 \n" ); document.write( "36-17=19 is the answer. \n" ); document.write( " |
