</span><span>Step 2 :</span>Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
<span> 2.1 </span> Factoring <span> 6x2-x-4</span>
The first term is, <span> <span>6x2</span> </span> its coefficient is <span> 6 </span>.
The middle term is, <span> -x </span> its coefficient is <span> -1 </span>.
The last term, "the constant", is <span> -4 </span>
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant <span> <span> 6</span> • -4 = -24</span>
Step-2 : Find two factors of -24 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is <span> -1 </span>.

x = 
or x = - 
consider the factors of the product 6 × - 4 = - 24 which sum to the coefficient of the x- term ( + 5)
the factors are + 8 and - 3 ( split the middle term using these factors
6x² - 3x + 8x - 4 = 0 ( factor by grouping )
3x(2x - 1) + 4(2x - 1 ) ( take out common factor of (2x - 1) )
= (2x - 1)(3x + 4) = 0
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x =
3x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = -

Answer:
n=-5
Step-by-step explanation:
first you have to distribute the 3 to the -6 and the 5. In return u will get -18n and 15. then you have to cancel like terms. then you have to add 18 to the 75 which gives you 93. then you divide -18 by 93 which gives you -5.166 repeating... so all you have to do is round. your final answer will be -5.
