Factor completely using trial and error method: 6x^2+23x+15

GCF=1

115 35 53 151

first term not just x

means either: (2x ) ( 3x ) or (x )(6x )

(2x + 1 ) ( 3x + 15)

3x

30x

3x + 30x != 23x

2nd binomial has gcf of 3 but gcf in trinomial is 1 if there was no gcf to remove in original trinomial, why would there be one after factoring?

this means we can remove 5 and 3 from list of things to go through, in addition to 1 and 15, as they would create that GCF 3 situation again

(2x + 3 ) ( 3x + 5 )

9x

10x

9x+10x != 23x

(2x + 15 ) ( 3x + 1 )

45x

2x

45x+2x!=23x

(x) (6x)

1 and 15 cant work 5 and 3 cant work this is because if you put 15 or 3 in second parenthese, you get a GCF of 3 instead of 1

(x+3) (6x+5)

18x

5x

18x+5x=23x

(x+3)(6x+5)=6x^2+5x+18x+15 6x^2+23x+15
