Hello, everyone!
For my first problem this week, I had to factor
First, I write 5x as a difference
Then, factor out 2x from the expression
Factor out x+3 from the expression
When products of factors equals 0, at least one factor is 0.
Then, solve for x
SO, the equation has two solutions
&
For my second problem, I factored using the quadratic formula.
First, I put my equation in quadratic formula method.
Any expression multiplies by one stays the same, so I cleaned it up a little.
Then, I added the numbers.
Then, I simplified.
Write the solutions with both plus and minus signs.
Finally, I simplify for the answers of
