SOLUTION: Can you please help me solve this equation: -6n^2 + 13n - 2 = 0
someone told me that I should first factor out a -1...but how/where does that come from?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! -6n^2 + 13n - 2 = 0
..
just for simplying the steps multiply the equation by -1
6n^2-13n+2=0
6n^2-12n-n+2=0
6n(n-2)-1(n-2)=0
(n-2)(6n-1)=0
n= 2 OR n= 1/6
