Question

Solve for x by factoring X2-2x=35

Answer 1

By factoring, x equals both -5 and 7.

Answer 2

Hey Luke65!

To solve this quadratic equation, we need to factor.  We can brake the x²-2x-35=0 into two factors:
x2-2x-35=0
(x-7)(x+5)=0 

Then we set each factor equal to zero and solve for x:
(x-7)=0                  (x+5)=0 
 x=7                        x=-5 

So the answer is x=7 and x=-5 ~Nesabug
