You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Using the principle of zero; you set both solutions of x to equal zero and work backwards.
\n" ); document.write( "x=9 x=16
\n" ); document.write( "x-9=0 x-16=0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now apply FOIL to calculate the equation from these two binomials\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(x-9)(x-16)=0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First x*x=x^2
\n" ); document.write( "Outer x*-16=-16x
\n" ); document.write( "Inner -9*x= -9x
\n" ); document.write( "Last -9*-16=144\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Combine the like terms of -16x and -9x to equal -25x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the original equation is x^2-25x+144
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
