5xSQUARED-13x+6
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Think of two number whose product is 5*6=30
\n" ); document.write( "and whose sum is -13.
\n" ); document.write( "The numbers are -3 and -10
\n" ); document.write( "Replace -13x with the terms -3x and -10x to get:
\n" ); document.write( "5x^2-3x-10x+6=0
\n" ); document.write( "Factor the 1st two and the last two terms separately to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x(5x-3)-2(5x-3)=0
\n" ); document.write( "(5x-3)(x-2)=0
\n" ); document.write( "x=3/5 or x=2
