Solve the following quadratic equations by factorization:

In factorization, we write the middle term of the quadratic equation either as a sum of two numbers or difference of two numbers such that the equation can be factorized.



3x2 – 15x + x – 5 = 0


3x(x – 5) + 1(x – 5) = 0


(3x + 1)(x – 5) = 0


x = 5, -1/3
