To factor the trinomial $20x^2 + 7x - 6$, we look for two numbers that multiply to $20 \times -6 = -120$ and add up to $7$. The numbers $12$ and $-10$ work, since $12 \times -10 = -120$ and $12 + (-10) = 2$. We can rewrite the middle term using these numbers: $20x^2 + 12x - 10x - 6$, which can be factored by grouping into $(4x + 3)(5x - 2)$.
