LOL no. First off, you factored your own example incorrectly.

3x<sup>2</sup> + 7x + 2 = 0 becomes
(3x+1)(x+2) = 0
x = -1/3 and -2

So that was just plain wrong. Also, I believe you have a severe misconception about what Linear Algebra is. It's Calculus level math, and SRL is working with matrices anyways (at least, that what it appears to be like). I have no idea how he got that 2 coefficient, but try working out the matrices that are given. Maybe a negative somewhere didn't cancel out? When SRL said "slightly," he may have sort of meant "very." It's a joke.
