In Chapter 6.5, we explore the method of factoring quadratic expressions of the form ax² + bx + c. Key steps include finding the greatest common factor (GCF), using the 'X Factor' method, and the 'Box Method' for visualizing factors. Examples are provided for practice, including solving 2x² - x - 1 and 14x² + 19x - 3. This chapter aids in building foundational algebra skills necessary for advanced mathematics. Refer to textbook page 279 for specific exercises and solutions.
