You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x%5E2-7x%2B10=0 you factor this into
%28x-5%29%28x-2%29=0 then set each segment in parenthesis equal to zero and solve for x, so for the first segment we have
x-5=0 now add 5 to each side and you get
x=5 now we do the other segment
x-2=0 we add 2 to each side and we get
x=2
So the answers are x=5 or x=2
