6r² - 7r - 5 = 0
The middle term is - 7r
find the sum of the middle term
multiply the first term 6 times the last term 5 equals 30 and factor
Factors of 30 =
1 x 30
2 x 15
3 x 10 . . .use these factors
5 x 6
+ 3 and - 10 satisfy the sum of the middle term
Insert + 3r and - 10r into the equation
6r² - 7r - 5 = 0
6r² + 3r - 10r - 5 = 0
3r(2r + 1) - 5(2r + 1) = 0
(3r - 5)(2r + 1)
- - - - - - - - - - - -s-

see i think u need to understand basics
6r^2-7r-5=0,this is called a quadratic equation
this type of equations can be solved as following:
fisrst multiply co-efficinets first term and last term dat is 6 and 5
so the ans is 30
now see first and last term dat is 6r^2 and -5
now if any one of the signs of term is (-) we have to factorize 30 in such a way dat we can get -7 by substraction
so the factors needed are 10 and 3 as 10*3=30 and 3-10= -7
so
6r^2 -10r +3r -5 =0 [u should notice dat the original form of equa. is maintained as3 - 10= -7]
now take out common
2r(3r-5)+1(3r-5)=0
so (2r+1) (3r-5)=0
so 2r+1=0 or 3r-5=0 as any one of them should be 0
so r= -1/2 or r=5/3

6r^2 - 7r - 5 = 0
Factorise this,
(3r-5)(2r+1) = 0
Solve this
3r-5=0 or 2r+1=0
Therefore,
r= 5/3 or -0.5

(3r - 5)(2r + 1)
you have
6r^2 - 7r - 5
3r.............-5
2r..............1
(Note that -5 * 1 = -5 and 3r * 2r = 6r^2)
If you multiply 3r by 1 and 2r by -5 you'll get:
3r - 10r = -7r
So, since you multiply 3r by 1, put:
(3r - 5)
And the other as:
(2r + 1)
So the final result is:
(3r - 5)(2r + 1)
If you want to find the 2 posibble values for r:
3r - 5 = 0
r = 5/3
or
2r + 1 = 0
r = -1/2

using the quadratic formula:
r=(7+-sqrt(49-4(6)(-5)))/2(6)
r=(7+-sqrt(49+120))/12
r=(7+13)/12 and r=(7-13)/12
r=20/12 and r=-6/12
r=5/3 and r=-1/2
