Question

X2+2x-35 How can you simplify 2+48-21

Answer 1

Answer:

x2-2x-35

Final result :

 (x + 5) • (x - 7)

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

1.1     Factoring  x2-2x-35

The first term is,  x2  its coefficient is  1 .

The middle term is,  -2x  its coefficient is  -2 .

The last term, "the constant", is  -35

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • -35 = -35

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -35  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -2 .

     -35    +    1    =    -34

     -7    +    5    =    -2    That's it

Step-by-step explanation: 2+48-21

Final Result :

     29
