i need help factoring this question

[zinc stag]

sry i am confused

[strong ridge]

Just read, let it soak in

[spice urchin]

I use the x-method to factor quadratics

Find two factors that multiply to ac, and add to b

[tribal coral]

12x² + x - 1 , Put x in evidence
x(12x+1+-1) , Reorganize to "break" 12x²+x-1 in another form, 12 = 4.3, before he have;
(4x-1).(3x+1)

[tribal coral]

this doesn't matter

[strong ridge]

There’s a lot of different methods

What I showed you is the best way when a not equal 1

[zinc stag]

i know the method to multiply a and c and then finding numbers that would equal to add b ? idk if that makes sense

i’m not great at explaining

[tribal coral]

ok

i will watch this thank you

[tribal coral]

x(2x-7+3-x)

[spice urchin]

What?

[tribal coral]

Bro; x.(2x -7 +3 -x)
2x² - 7x + 3-x.x
2x² - 7x + 3

This is the factor of the video

Yes yes, I’m a noob. I never knew you could make factoring complicated….

[tribal coral]

This is not complicated

I explain to you

[iron reef]

why are you guys overcomplicating this

just factor by grouping

[spice urchin]

Yeah but…there’s just an easier way….

[zinc stag]

okay yalk

i understand now

[spice urchin]

Not you Umbra, the other guy

[zinc stag]
