Algebra.Com's Answer #22352 by Earlsdon(6294)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is a hard one to factor but it can be done with a bit of trial & error: \n" ); document.write( "The factors of 135 are: \n" ); document.write( "1 X 135 = 135 \n" ); document.write( "3 X 45 = 135 \n" ); document.write( "5 X 27 = 135 \n" ); document.write( "9 X 15 = 135 \n" ); document.write( "The factors of 91 are: \n" ); document.write( "1 X 91 = 91 \n" ); document.write( "7 X 13 = 91\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can try various combinations of these but the sum (or the difference) of the factors for the x-term must equal -222. \n" ); document.write( "For example: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "To find the roots, we must have an equation, so you can set the expression equal to zero. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "If \n" ); document.write( "If \n" ); document.write( "The factors are: (15x - 13) and (9x - 7) \n" ); document.write( "The roots are: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
