1. Problem Description

The problem asks to factor the quadratic expression 6y2+7y36y^2 + 7y - 3.

2. Solution Steps

To factor the quadratic expression 6y2+7y36y^2 + 7y - 3, we need to find two numbers that multiply to 6×3=186 \times -3 = -18 and add up to 77. These two numbers are 99 and 2-2.
Now we rewrite the middle term using these two numbers:
6y2+7y3=6y2+9y2y36y^2 + 7y - 3 = 6y^2 + 9y - 2y - 3
Next, we factor by grouping:
6y2+9y2y3=3y(2y+3)1(2y+3)6y^2 + 9y - 2y - 3 = 3y(2y + 3) - 1(2y + 3)
Finally, we factor out the common factor (2y+3)(2y + 3):
3y(2y+3)1(2y+3)=(3y1)(2y+3)3y(2y + 3) - 1(2y + 3) = (3y - 1)(2y + 3)

3. Final Answer

The factored form of the quadratic expression 6y2+7y36y^2 + 7y - 3 is (3y1)(2y+3)(3y - 1)(2y + 3).
