Question

Factor 3x^2-14x+8 ...?

Answer 1

The equation that needs to be factorized is

3x^2 - 14x + 8 = 3x^2 - 12x - 2x + 8
                        = 3x(x - 4) - 2(x - 4)
                        = (3x - 2)(x - 4)

I hope that the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. I also hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and the answer has actually come to your desired help.

Answer 2

Since you have 3x^2 then  (3x   ) (x    ) try to find the values for x
(3x-2) (x-4)
why  -2 and -4  you ask??
check by multiplying
