2−14x+40=0 Factor x2−14x+40 using the AC method.(x−10)(x−4)
0 If any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to 0, the entire expression will be equal to 0.x−10=0x−4=0 Set the first factor equal to 0 and solve.x=10Set the next factor equal to 0and solve....x=4
The final solution is all the values that make (x−10)(x−4)=0 true x=10,4
