Answer:

These results, 7 and 9, have a product of 63, as stated.

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the first odd number by x and the first consecutive odd number by x + 2. Then the product of these two numbers is x(x + 2) and it equals 63.

Solve for x. Perform the indicated multiplication, obtaining

x^2 + 2x - 63 = 0

Solve this by factoring: (x + 9)(x - 7) = 0

Then x could be either -9 or +7. If we let x = 7 then the first consecutive odd number is 7 + 2, or 9. These results, 7 and 9, have a product of 63, as stated.

How do I factor out a constant before factoring out a quadratic? <br>Factor completely: 3w^2-3w-90

pantera1 [17]

$3w^2-3w-90 =0 \ \ \:3 \\ \\w^2- w-30 =0 \\ \\a=1 , \ b= -1 , c= -30 \\ \\\Delta =b^2-4ac = (-1)^2 -4\cdot1\cdot (-30) =1+120=121 \\ \\w_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta} }{2a}=\frac{1-\sqrt{121}}{2 }=\frac{ 1-11}{2}=\frac{-10}{2}=-5$

$w_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta} }{2a}=\frac{1+\sqrt{121}}{2 }=\frac{ 1+11}{2}=\frac{12}{2}=6 \\ \\ Answer:\\ \\ w^2- w-30 =(x+5)(x-6)$
