Q. Solve the quadratic by factoring.x2+13x−22=6x+8Answer: x=
Write Standard Form: Write the quadratic equation in standard form by moving all terms to one side of the equation.x2+13x−22=6x+8Subtract 6x and 8 from both sides to get:x2+13x−6x−22−8=0Combine like terms:x2+7x−30=0
Factor Quadratic Equation: Factor the quadratic equation.We need to find two numbers that multiply to −30 and add up to 7.The numbers 10 and −3 satisfy these conditions because:10×−3=−3010+(−3)=7So we can write the factored form as:(x+10)(x−3)=0
Solve for x: Solve for x by setting each factor equal to zero.x+10=0 or x−3=0Solve each equation for x:x=−10 or x=3
