Answer 1

Answer:

Factoring

Step-by-step explanation:

When we are solving a quadratic equation by the factorization method, each factor is set as being equal to zero.

The solution of each bracket of factors gives the root of the quadratic equation.

For example;

x2 + 16 = 10x

We now have;

x2 - 10x + 16  = 0

x2 - 8x - 2x + 16 = 0

x(x - 8) -2(x - 8) = 0

(x-2) (x-8) = 0

(x-2) = 0

Then x = 2

Or

(x-8) = 0

x = 8

Hence;

x = 2 or x= 8
