Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction
3.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 3 as the denominator :
6x2 - 7x (6x2 - 7x) • 3
6x2 - 7x = ———————— = ——————————————
1 3
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

:
Pulling out like terms
4.1 Pull out like factors :
6x2 - 7x = x • (6x - 7)
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
4.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
x • (6x-7) • 3 - (5) 18x2 - 21x - 5

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
5.2 Factoring 18x2 - 21x - 5
The first term is, 18x2 its coefficient is 18 .
The middle term is, -21x its coefficient is -21 .
The last term, "the constant", is -5
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 18 • -5 = -90
Step-2 : Find two factors of -90 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -21 .
-90 + 1 = -89
-45 + 2 = -43
-30 + 3 = -27
-18 + 5 = -13
-15 + 6 = -9
-10 + 9 = -1
-9 + 10 = 1
-6 + 15 = 9
-5 + 18 = 13
-3 + 30 = 27
-2 + 45 = 43
-1 + 90 = 89
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored

5.4 Factoring 18x2 - 24x - 5
The first term is, 18x2 its coefficient is 18 .
The middle term is, -24x its coefficient is -24 .
The last term, "the constant", is -5
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 18 • -5 = -90
Step-2 : Find two factors of -90 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -24 .
-90 + 1 = -89
-45 + 2 = -43
-30 + 3 = -27
-18 + 5 = -13
-15 + 6 = -9
-10 + 9 = -1
-9 + 10 = 1
-6 + 15 = 9
-5 + 18 = 13
-3 + 30 = 27
-2 + 45 = 43
-1 + 90 = 89
