Ask: When will (4w-5)(7-w) equal zero?
When 4w-5=0 or 7-w=0
Solve each of the 2 equations above
w = 5/4 , 7
Let x = your number.
6x = x^2 - 27. Subtract 6x from each side.
0 = x^2 - 6x - 27. Factor
0 = (x-9) (x+3). Set each term equal to zero
(x+3) = 0. Subtract 3 from each side.
x = -3. This is the negative solution.
(x-9) = 0. Add 9 to each side.
x = 9. This is the positive solution.
