How do I write the sum of two numbers as the product of their GCF and another sum

Delicious77 [7]

Let's assume we were given 2 numbers: 15 and 30. Their sum is:
$15+30 = 45$
We want to express it as the product of GCF and another sum.
15 is divisible by: 1, 3, 5, 15
30 is divisible by: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
The greatest number that appears in 2 series is 15.
$\frac{15}{15} = 1$
$\frac{30}{15} = 2$
In this case sum of two numbers can always be written as:
$15+30 = (15\cdot 1) + (15\cdot 2) = 15\cdot (1+2) = 15\cdot 3 = 45$

The graph of a quadratic f(x) intersects the x-axis at –15 and 9. What is a possible

Orlov [11]

the point that the function intercepts the x axis are the zeros of the function, where the products set equal to zero give you the x coordinate in which it intercepts.

x=-15 and x=9

set both equal to 0

x+15 and x-9

These are your two products

(x+15)(x-9)

x^2+6x-135
