(x-2)(x+5)=18
x²+3x-10=18
Subtract 18 to each side
x²+3x-10-18=18-18
x²+3x-28=0
x²+7x-4x-28=0
x(x+7)-4(x+7)=0
(x-4)(x+7)=0

x-4=0
Add 4 to each side
x-4+4=0+4
x=4

x+7=0
Subtract 7 to each side
x+7-7=0-7
x=-7. As a result,the solutions to this equation are 4 and -7. Hope it help!

Well if finding X you get 4,-7 when you simplify the whole equation you get that as well.

What two numbers multiply and get 100 and add and get -29??

butalik [34]

X, y - the numbers

The numbers multiply to 100.
$xy=100$

The numbers add up to -29.
$x+y=-29 \\
y=-x-29$

Substitute -x-29 for y in the first equation:
$x(-x-29)=100 \\
-x^2-29x=100 \\
-x^2-29x-100=0 \\
-x^2-4x-25x-100=0 \\
-x(x+4)-25(x+4)=0 \\
(-x-25)(x+4)=0 \\
-x-25=0 \ \lor \ x+4=0 \\
x=-25 \ \lor \ x=-4 \\ \\
y=-x-29 \\
y=-(-25)-29 \ \lor \ y=-(-4)-29 \\
y=25-29 \ \lor \ y=4-29 \\
y=-4 \ \lor \ y=-25 \\ \\
(x,y)=(-25,-4) \hbox{ or } (x,y)=(-4,-25)$

The numbers are -4 and -25.
