Explanation: Use "x" to represent the smaller integer and "x+1" to represent the larger integer. The whole equation would be 6x=3(x+1). Here's how to solve it: 6x=3(x+1) 6x=3x+3 3x=3 x=1 The smaller integer value is solved. Plug that value into "x+1" to get the larger integer, which will be 2.
Split the second term in 2x squared -5x + 3 into two terms 2x squared - 2x - 3x + 3 Factor out common terms and last two terms 2x(x-1) -3 (x-1) Factor out the common term x - 1 ANSWER: (x-1) (2x-3)
