Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information

The trinomial is18m2+15m+3

Find factors using 'ac' method.

02

Step 2. Find GCF 

Find GCF and factor it

GCF is 3

So,36m2+5m+1

03

Step 3. Find 'ac' 

Compare the trinomial inside the parenthesis with ax2+bx+c

So, a=6,b=5,c=1

So, ac=6

Find two number such as their product is 6 and sum is 5
