Answer :
Solve it like this..
8x^2+2x-21=0
8x^2 + 14x - 12x -21=0
2x(4x+7) -3(4x+7) = 0
(4x+7)(2x - 3)=0
So factor 1 is 4x +7 =0
i.e. x=-7/4
Factor 2 is 2x -3 =0
i.e x=3/2
8x^2+2x-21=0
8x^2 + 14x - 12x -21=0
2x(4x+7) -3(4x+7) = 0
(4x+7)(2x - 3)=0
So factor 1 is 4x +7 =0
i.e. x=-7/4
Factor 2 is 2x -3 =0
i.e x=3/2
