Question 464925: What is the factored form of 7x^2+ssx+42 using quadraatic formula

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
7x^2+ssx+42
`
What on earth could you have meant by the "ss" before the x?????
`
If by 'ss', you mean 35 then 7x² + 35x + 42 is factorable as 7(x + 2)(x + 3).
If by 'ss', you mean 49 then 7x² + 49x + 42 is factorable as 7(x + 6)(x + 1).
If by 'ss', you mean 55 then 7x² + 55x + 42 is factorable as (x + 7)(7x + 6).
If by 'ss', you mean 101 then 7x² + 101x + 42 is factorable as (x + 14)(7x + 3).
If by 'ss', you mean 149 then 7x² + 149x + 42 is factorable as (x + 21)(7x + 2).
`
You have to let us know what you mean by "ss" in 7x^2+ssx+42, if you
expect us to know what you are talking about so we can help you. Did
you just mistype ss when you meant to type a number? Did you mistake
"55" for "ss"? If so,
`
If by 'ss', you meant '55' then 7x² + 55x + 42 is factorable as (x + 7)(7x + 6).
