trick to easily factor this is as below
let say = ax^2 + bx + c
first find all the possibilities fo multiply to get a and c(integer only +ve and negative)
a
1x2
2x1
c
1x3
3x1
-1 x -3
-3 x -1
possibility 1:
2x 1
x 3
cross multiply
2x 1 = x * 1 = x
x 3 = 2x * 3 = 6x
total x = x + 6x = 7x
since the middle is 5x then this is wrong
possibility 2:
2x 3 = 2x * 1 = 2x
x 1 = x * 3 = 3x
total x = 2x + 3x = 5x
it is similar to b then the factor is
(2x + 3) (x + 1)
note if question is 2x^2 - 5x + 3 then the answer will be
(2x - 3) (x - 1)
