Solve the equation by a method of your choice: 6x2 + 5x + 1 = 0
If there are two solutions, separate the solutions by a comma.
my aswer was (3x + 1)(2x + 1) = 0
-------------
The answers will be x = something.
(3x + 1)(2x + 1) = 0
If the product is zero, either
(3x + 1) = 0
x = -1/3
or
(2x + 1) = 0
x = -1/2
------------
x = -1/3, -1/2
