3y^2 + 10y + 3

3y² + 10y + 33y² = 3 * 1(3y + n) * (y + r)n * r = 3 hence to try whole numbers first n = 1 or 3 meaning r = 3 or 1 respectivey * n + 3y * r = 10yif n =1 and r = 3 then equivalent is 10y (correct)as all values work 3y² +10y + 3 = (3y + 1) * (y + 3)y = -1/3 y = -3Alternative, use formula (-b +/- Sqrt(b² -4ac))/2awhere ay² + by + ca = 3 b =10 c = 3 y = -1/3 y = -3
