Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and any diagrams.

Solution · 3 marks

  1. 1Rearrange: 6x² + 37x − 35 ≤ 0
  2. 2Factorise: (6x − 5)(x + 7) = 0, so critical values x = 5/6 and x = −7
  3. 3The quadratic is ≤ 0 between the roots, so −7 ≤ x ≤ 5/6

Answer−7 ≤ x ≤ 5/6
