You can put this solution on YOUR website!
14x^2-20x+6=0
2(7x^2-10x+3)=0
2(7x-3)(x-1)=0
7x-3=0
7x=3
x=3/7 answer.
x-1=0
x=1 answer.

All 3 coefficients are divisable by 2, so2%287x%5E2-10x%2B3%29
we know a lot. Both signs will be the same because there is a + in front of the 3. Both signs will be (-) because of the (-) in front of the 10. Both 7 and 3 are prime numbers so we wont be dividing those up.
2(7x-3)(x-1)This works.
