You can put this solution on YOUR website! x^2 – 10x + 16 = 0
You can factor this equation into a form:
where
When you look at factors of 16 (1,16),(2,8),(4,4), you can pick out the factor pair that sums to 10 that is (2,8).
Now you just need to get the signs right.
They need to sum to -10, so you can use -2 and -8 since and
So your equation becomes and
x=2 and x=8 make this equation true.
