Factorise 6x²-14x-12​

Mathematics

Answer:

2(x - 3)(3x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6x² - 14x - 12 ← factor out 2 from each term

= 2(3x² - 7x - 6) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 3 × - 6 = - 18 and sum = - 7

The factors are - 9 and + 2

Use these factors to split the x- term

3x² - 9x + 2x - 6 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 3x(x - 3) + 2(x - 3) ← factor out (x - 3) from each term

= (x - 3)(3x + 2)

Thus

3x² - 7x - 6 = (x - 3)(3x + 2) and

6x² - 14x - 12 = 2(x - 3)(3x + 2) ← in factored form

Find the difference between 7 1/2 and 2 3/4
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

4\frac{3}{4} or 4.75

Step-by-step explanation:

first we're going to convert the number into improper fractions.

7\frac{1}{2}= \frac{15}{2} and 2\frac{3}{4}= \frac{11}{4}

For subtracting it is suitable to adjust both fractions to an equal denominator, so we're going to multiply \frac{15}{2}x2, it'll equal the same number.

So now we have \frac{30}{4}-\frac{11}{4}, 30-11= 19.

\frac{19}4} simplified is, 4\frac{3}{4}.

As you can see I also added 4.75 as an answer, that's if the answer must be a decimal.

I hope this helps you!
