Answer:
[tex]2(3r-2)(r+3)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]6r^2+14r-12[/tex]
Start by factoring out the greatest common factor, [tex]2[/tex]:
[tex]2(3r^2+7r-6)[/tex]
Factor out the trinomial in the parentheses using the "Reverse FOIL" method (Write 2 parentheses and factor out the trinomial into them):
[tex]2(3r-2)(r+3)[/tex]
_
To check:
(Multiply First, Outside, Inner, Last):
[tex]2(3r^2+9r-2r-6)[/tex]
Combine like terms:
[tex]2(3r^2+7r-6)[/tex]
Distribute the [tex]2[/tex]:
[tex]6r^2+14r-12[/tex]
