Factor the quadratic expression completely. 12x^2+17x+6=

(3 x + 2) (4 x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

12 x^2 + 17 x + 6

Factor the quadratic 12 x^2 + 17 x + 6. The coefficient of x^2 is 12 and the constant term is 6. The product of 12 and 6 is 72. The factors of 72 which sum to 17 are 8 and 9. So 12 x^2 + 17 x + 6 = 12 x^2 + 9 x + 8 x + 6 = 3 (3 x + 2) + 4 x (3 x + 2):

3 (3 x + 2) + 4 x (3 x + 2)

Factor 3 x + 2 from 3 (3 x + 2) + 4 x (3 x + 2):

 (3 x + 2) (4 x + 3)

the answer is 37

step-by-step explanation:

6 + 24 = 30,   so 6/30 = .2
