In order to factorise $6 x^{2}+7 x-3,$ we have to find two numbers $p$ and $q$ such that $p+q=7$ and $p q=-18.$

Clearly, $9+(-2)=7$ and $9 \times(-2)=-18.$

So, we write the middle term $7 x$ as $9 x+(-2 x),$ i.e., $9 x-2 x$.

$\therefore$ $6 x^{2}+7 x-3=6 x^{2}+9 x-2 x-3$

$=3 x(2 x+3)-1(2 x+3)$

$=(2 x+3)(3 x-1)$
