Question 17317
Factor:
{{{6x^2 -x -35}}} What are the factors of -35?

-35 = (-7)(5) or (7)(-5) or (-1)(35) or (1)(-35) What are the factors of {{{6x^2}}}?

{{{6x^2 = (2x)(3x)}}} or {{{(x)(6x)}}} or {{{(-2x)(-3x)}}} or {{{(-x)(-6x)}}}

Now pick out the right combination so that you get a middle term of -x

Try {{{(2x - 5)(3x + 7) = 6x^2 + 14x - 15x - 35}}} = {{{6x^2 -x - 35}}}
