You can put this solution on YOUR website!
6X^2-23X-4=0 OR (x-4)(6X+1)=0 OR X=4 & X=-1/6
D) IS HALF THE SOLUTIONS
FOIL IS THE TECHNIQUE
F=MULYIPLYING THE FIRST NUMBERS/LETTERS OR X*6X=6X^2
0=OUTER OR FIRST & LAST NUMBERS/LETTERS OR 1*X=X
I=INNER NUMBERS/LETTERS OR -4*6X=-24X
L=LAST NUMBERS/LETTERS OR -4*1=-4
NOW WE ADD ALL THESE ELEMENTS & WE GET 6X^2+X-24X-4 OR 6X^2-23X-4
