Algebra.Com's Answer #170465 by algebrapro18(249)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Well it is possible to factor and solve this equation. First we can divide both sides by 3 and we will get: \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "0 = x^2+4x-45 \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now we need to think of numbers that multiply to -45 and add to 5. -5 and 9 work so the equation factors to: \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "0 = (x-5)(x+9) \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and to solve the equation we use the zero product property and set each factor to 0 and you will get that x = 5 and x = -9. \n" ); document.write( " |
