3x^2 - 16x - 7 = 5. This is a quadratic equation. Cross the 5 to the other side.
3x^2 - 16x - 7 - 5 = 0
3x^2 - 16x - 12 = 0. Let us use factorization method.
Multiply the first coefficient and last term = 3 * - 12 = - 36.
We think of two numbers that multiply to give - 36 and add up to give the middle coefficient - 16.
The two numbers are = 2 and - 18.
2 * - 18 = - 36.
2 + (-18) = - 16.
We replace the middle term - 16 with 2 + (-18) = 2 - 18.
3x^2 - 16x - 12 = 0
3x^2 + 2x - 18x - 12 = 0 Factorize.
x (3x + 2) - 6 (3x + 2) = 0
(3x + 2) (x - 6) = 0.
Therefore (3x + 2) = 0 or (x - 6) = 0
(3x + 2) = 0 x - 6 = 0
3x = 0 - 2 x = 0 + 6
3x = - 2 x = 6
x = - 2/3
3x = - 2
x = - 2/3
Therefore x = - 2/3 or 6.
