Factor:
6x%5E2+-x+-35 What are the factors of -35?
-35 = (-7)(5) or (7)(-5) or (-1)(35) or (1)(-35) What are the factors of 6x%5E2?
6x%5E2+=+%282x%29%283x%29 or %28x%29%286x%29 or %28-2x%29%28-3x%29 or %28-x%29%28-6x%29
Now pick out the right combination so that you get a middle term of -x
Try %282x+-+5%29%283x+%2B+7%29+=+6x%5E2+%2B+14x+-+15x+-+35 = 6x%5E2+-x+-+35
