Question
Solve equation by factorization : x(6x – 1) = 35

Answer

$
\begin{aligned}
& x(6 x-1)=35 \\
& \Rightarrow 6 x^2-x-35=0 \\
& \Rightarrow 6 x^2-15 x+14 x-35=0 \\
& \Rightarrow 3 x(2 x-5)+7(2 x-5)=0 \\
& \Rightarrow(2 x-5)(3 x+7)=0
\end{aligned}
$
Either $2 x-5=0$,
then $2 x=5$
$
\Rightarrow x =\frac{5}{2}
$
or
$
3 x+7=0
$
then $3 x=-7$
$
\Rightarrow x =\frac{-7}{3}
$
Hence $x=\frac{5}{2}, \frac{-7}{3}$.
