x^2 - 2x =24
\n" ); document.write( "x^2-2x-24=0
\n" ); document.write( "you want factors of -24 which add up to -2
\n" ); document.write( "one will be positive and one negative.
\n" ); document.write( "what are the factors of -24
\n" ); document.write( "-1 24
\n" ); document.write( "-24 1
\n" ); document.write( "-2 12
\n" ); document.write( "-12 2
\n" ); document.write( "-3 8
\n" ); document.write( "-8 3
\n" ); document.write( "-4 6
\n" ); document.write( "-6 4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "They begin to repeat.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "which of the above factors add up to -2
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
