What is an easy way to factor and equation like 2x^2-5x+3, without using the British method?

Step-by-step explanation:

I learned this easy way to complete the sqare in the fastest way possible

First you want to get it to x^2. So the first thing you would do is divide the entire equation by 2 to get 2 (x^2 - 5/2x + 3/2). then you do one half of b or in this case - 5/2. That would make - 5/4. you would put this into the factor.

2 (x - 5/4 + ) (x - 5/4 - )

Then you square that number (-5/4)

That makes 25/16. you take that number and subtract the last number or the constant, c to make 1/16. now to finish it up you square root that number. the squre root of 1/16 is 1/4. then you put that into the last part of the factor.

2 (x - 5/4 + 1/4) (x - 5/4 - 1/4)

Then you simplify

(x-1) 2 (x-3/2)

(x-1) (2x-3)

now to make sure I am correct, I will re-multiply it out

2x^2 - 5x + 3
