Determine roots of the following equation
x2 + (3a - 2b)x - 6ab = 0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Your starting equation is

    x^2 + (3a  -  2b)x  -  6ab = 0


Make factoring

   (x + 3a)*(x - 2b) = 0.


The roots (the solutions) are  x = -3a;  x = 2b.      ANSWER

Solved.

Determinar una raíz de la siguiente ecuación
de variable “x”: x2 + (3a - 2b)x - 6ab = 0
matrix%281%2C3%2C+x%5E2+%2B+%283a+-+2b%29x+-+6ab%2C+%22=%22%2C+0%29
Using the "ac" method, we determine whcih 2 factors, when multiplied, gives "ac," or - 6ab.
Furthermore, the same 2 factors sum to "b", or 3a - 2b. These 2 factors are: + 3a and - 2b
Rewrite the equation, substituting + 3ax - 2bx for (3a - 2b)x, to get: matrix%281%2C3%2C+x%5E2+%2B+3ax+-+2bx+-+6ab%2C+%22=%22%2C+0%29
x(x + 3a) - 2b(x + 3a) = 0
(x - 2b)(x + 3a) = 0
x - 2b = 0 OR x + 3a = 0 ----- Setting each factor equal to 0.
