  1. Identify the quadratic equation: Identify the quadratic equation and its coefficients.\newlineThe quadratic equation is 3x233x+54=03x^2 - 33x + 54 = 0, where the coefficients are A=3A = 3, B=33B = -33, and C=54C = 54.
  2. Factor the quadratic equation: Factor the quadratic equation.\newlineWe need to find two numbers that multiply to ACA \cdot C (354)(3 \cdot 54) and add up to BB (33)(-33).\newlineThe numbers that satisfy these conditions are 9-9 and 24-24 because 924=216-9 \cdot -24 = 216 and 9+24=33-9 + -24 = -33.
  3. Rewrite the quadratic equation: Rewrite the quadratic equation using the numbers found in Step 22.\newline3x29x24x+54=03x^2 - 9x - 24x + 54 = 0\newlineGroup the terms: (3x29x)(24x54)=0(3x^2 - 9x) - (24x - 54) = 0
  4. Factor by grouping: Factor by grouping.\newlineFactor out the common terms from each group:\newline3x(x3)18(x3)=03x(x - 3) - 18(x - 3) = 0\newlineNow factor out the common binomial factor (x3)(x - 3):\newline(3x18)(x3)=0(3x - 18)(x - 3) = 0
  5. Simplify the factored equation: Simplify the factored equation.\newlineDivide the first term by 33 to simplify:\newline(x6)(x3)=0(x - 6)(x - 3) = 0
  6. Solve for x: Solve for x by setting each factor equal to zero.\newlinex6=0x - 6 = 0 or x3=0x - 3 = 0\newlineSolve each equation:\newlinex=6x = 6 or x=3x = 3
