Solve the given quadratic equation by factorization method, 3x2 – x – 10 = 0

Solve the given quadratic equation by factorization method, 3x2 – x – 10 = 0

Answer:
3x2 – x – 10 = 0
3x2 – 6x + 5x – 10 = 0
3x( x – 2) + 5 (x – 2) = 0
(x – 2) (3x + 5) = 0
x – 2 = 0     OR   3x + 5 = 0
x = 2     OR   x = - 5 / 3
