Have you done solution to quadratic equation?
 
3x^2+5x-2=0

If you can figure out a way to rewrite 3x2+5x-2 as the product of two binomials, then you have it made. You know that one or both of the binomials must be equal to zero because if you multiply two numbers together and get zero, at least one of them has to be a zero.
