Question

Factor the expression below

Answer 1

Given:

The expression is

$2x^2+3x-9$

To find:

The factors of the given expression.

Solution:

We have,

$2x^2+3x-9$

Splitting the middle term, we get

$2x^2+(6-3)x-9$

$2x^2+6x-3x-9$

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

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

Therefore, the factors of given expression are (x+3) and (2x-3).
