6x%5E2%2B7x=3 Start with the given equation


6x%5E2%2B7x-3=0 Subtract 3 from both sides.



%282x%2B3%29%283x-1%29=0 Factor the left side (note: if you need help with factoring, check out this solver)



Now set each factor equal to zero:
2x%2B3=0 or 3x-1=0

x=-3%2F2 or x=1%2F3 Now solve for x in each case


So our solutions are

x=-3%2F2 or x=1%2F3
