Factor the quadratic equation: Now, we need to factor the quadratic equation.Looking for two numbers that multiply to 2×6=12 and add up to 7.The numbers are 3 and 4.So, we can write the equation as (2x+3)(x+2)=0
Find two numbers: Next, we set each factor equal to zero and solve for x.First factor: 2x+3=0Subtract 3 from both sides: 2x=−3Divide by 2: x=−23
Set factors equal to zero: Now, solve the second factor: x+2=0 Subtract 2 from both sides: x=−2
