I am not quite sure if you are asking me to factor this or solve it. So i guess I'll do both:
Factoring:
x2-10x+16
x2-2x-8x+16
x(x-2)-8(x-2)
(x-8)(x-2)
Solving:
You set this factored version of the equation to zero and solve by figurin out x-value would cause the equation to equal zero. This can be done by taking each bracket and making them equal zero, because if one of the brackets were to equal zero, then the equation would go to zero ebcause anything times zero equals zero.
x-8=0
x=8
this means one of the answers is 8
x-2=0
x=2
this means the other answer is 2
So the final answer would be x=2,8

How do i complete the square x squared plus 10x minus 13 equals 17 how do you complete the square x squared plus 10x minus 13 equals 17?
X2 + 10X - 13 = 17 add 13 to each side X2 + 10X = 30 halve the linear coefficient ( 10 ), square it and add it to both sides X2 + 10X + 25 = 30 + 25 factor on the left and gather terms on the right (X + 5)2 = 55 (X + 5)2 - 55 = 0 ---------------------------vertex form, (- 5, - 55 ), is the vertex -------------------------------------------[-------------------------------]
