Question 144725: Hi. I really need help with the factoring trinomial problem 1/2x(x+20)=78. I've tried to answer it but I can't find the right factors for the numbers. This is as far as I got,
1/2x(x+20)=78
1/2x(squared)+10x=78
1/2x(squared)+10x-78=0
Now, I'm not sure if before you subtract 78 you're supposed to divide by 1/2. So, I tried doing that and got,
x(squared)+10=156
x(squared)+10-156=0
After that I can't get the factors right. Please help.
Thank you!
