Find Numbers: Find two numbers that multiply to 11 and add up to −12.
Identify Numbers: The numbers are −11 and −1 because −11×−1=11 and −11+−1=−12.
Rewrite Equation: Rewrite the equation by splitting the middle term using the numbers found in Step 2.n2−11n−1n+11=0
Factor by Grouping: Factor by grouping.(n2−11n)+(−1n+11)=0n(n−11)−1(n−11)=0(n−1)(n−11)=0
Set Equal and Solve: Set each factor equal to zero and solve for n.n−1=0 or n−11=0n=1 or n=11
