Answer 1

Split the second term in 2x^2 - x - 6 into two terms

2x^2 + 3x - 4x - 6

Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms

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

Factor out the common term 2x + 3

(2x + 3)(x - 2)

Answer 2

Answer:

(2x   + 3)  (x  - 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 -x -6

(2x    3)  (x   2 )

3*2 = 6  so one of the must be negative

2x*2    3x

Which one should be negative.  We want to end up with negative x  so 2x*2 should be negative

(2x   + 3)  (x  - 2 )
