Step-by-step explanation:
We can rewrite the given equation as
[tex]x^2 + \frac{1}{5}x - \frac{12}{25} = (x + \frac{4}{5})(x - \frac{3}{5})[/tex]
As a check, let's multiply out the factors:
[tex](x + \frac{4}{5})(x - \frac{3}{5}) = x^2 - \frac{3}{5}x + \frac{4}{5}x - \frac{12}{25}[/tex]
[tex]= x^2 + \frac{1}{5}x - \frac{12}{25}[/tex]
and this is our original equation.
