Question 1174733
<br>
For tutor @MathTherapy....<br>
For God's sake, stop the idiotic ego trip, ripping other tutors for their responses.<br>
This post says "factor OR solve".  The student might have meant factor AND solve, but that's not what he posted.  So when the other tutor factored the expression, they answered the question that was asked.<br>
On the other hand, your response didn't do ANY math that was of any help to the student.<br>
You are clearly capable of writing useful responses to students' questions;
please confine your activity on this forum to doing that.<br>
