Need more problem types. X-1 x30 x 1x 3 0. Rewrite the equation so that the left side of the equation is set equal to 0.
One side of the equation is just zero.
Given x 2 5x 60 leftx 3rightleftx 2right0 factoring the polynomial leftx 3right0 OR leftx 2right0. Move all terms to the left-hand side of the equal to sign. Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring The general form of a quadratic equation is ax 2 bx c 0 where x is the variable and a b c are constants. Now if this is the first time that youve seen this type of whats essentially a quadratic equation you might be tempted to try to solve for s using traditional algebraic means but the best way to solve this especially when its explicitly equal to 0 is to factor the left-hand side and then think about the fact that those binomials that you factor into that they have to be equal to 0.
