what 2 numbers when multiplied equal 24 but when added equal -10? or in other words 2z^2-10z+12=0
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "The numbers are -6 and -4
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "2z^2-6z -4z + 12 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "2z(z-3) -4(z-3) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "(z-3)(2z-4) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "z = 3 or z = 2
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Note: You could have divided thru by 2 before factoring.
