The discussion focuses on factoring the quadratic expression 6t² + 17t + 7. The user initially breaks it down into 6t² + 3t + 14t + 7, which is a correct step. The next steps involve factoring the first two terms to get 3t(2t + 1) and the second two terms to get 7(2t + 1), leading to the final factored form of (3t + 7)(2t + 1).

hououin kyouma said:I need to factor 6t^2+17t+7 when I break down the equation I get 6t^2+3t+14t+7 now I am not sure what to do after that to get my answer can someone please explain the steps for me thank you!
I presume you wrote it that way because you can now factor "3t" out of "6t^2+ 3t and factor "7" out of "14t+ 7". What does that leave?hououin kyouma said:I need to factor 6t^2+17t+7 when I break down the equation I get 6t^2+3t+14t+7
