Factor Completely:  6x² + 5x - 6

• 6(x + 1)(x - 6)

• (6x + 6)(x - 1)

• (2x - 3)(3x + 2)

• (3x - 2)(2x + 3)

Factor:
 2m² + 3m - 9

• 2(m + 3)(m - 3)

• (2m - 3)²

When using the slide-divide-slide method to factor, what do you do if you end up with a fraction in one of your binomials after dividing by a?

• slide the denominator up to become the coefficient of the variable

• make it a decimal instead

• panic, I am afraid of fractions

• just leave it, fractions are your friends
