Answer 1

Given: The quadratic equation below

$35x^2=13x+12$

To Determine: The two linear factors of the given equation using standard form of a quadratic equation

The standard form of a quadratic equation is given as

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

Re-write the given equation in the standard form as shown below

$\begin{gathered} 35x^2=13x+12 \\ 35x^2-13x-12=0 \end{gathered}$

Factor the left hand side as shown below

$35x^2-28x+15x-12=0$$\begin{gathered} 7x(5x-4)+3(5x-4)=0 \\ (5x-4)(7x+3)=0 \\ \text{Therefore} \\ 35x^2-13x-12=0,in\text{ factored form is} \\ (5x-4)(7x+3)=0 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the two linear factors of the given equation is

(5x -4)(7x + 3) = 0
