6x^2+3= 11x
Subtract 11x from both sides:
6x^2-11x+3= 0
Now factor the left side (FOIL):
(2x-3)(3x-1)= 0
Split into 2 equations:
2x-3= 0 or 3x-1= 0
2x= 3 or 3x= 1
x= 3/2 or x/ 1/3
Let's try the first number, simplify first: 3/2 divide and you get 1.5:
6(1.5)^2+3= 11(1.5)
6(2.25)+3= 11(1.5)
13.5+3= 16.5
16.5=16.5 We've got the correct answer
