Oh, dude, that's like basic math 101. So, 2x squared minus x squared is just x squared. It's like when you have two pizzas and you take away one Pizza, you're left with just one pizza, right? Same idea here, just with algebra instead of pepperoni.
x(x - 2)
(x + 2)(x - 4)
It is impossible but if it were x squared plus 2x minus 15 the equation would be (x+5) (x-3) with x being equal to either -5 or 3. If the original problem was x squared minus 2x minus 15 the equation would be (x-5)(x+3) and x would be equal to either 5 or -3
2(x - 7)(x - 1)
- ln ((x^2)-4)
2x squared minus 5x minus 3 factored is (2x+1)(x-3).
The answer to x2 - 2x - 4y2 - 4y =(x - 2y)(x - 2y - 2)
(x - 2)(2x + 3)
2x squared - 5x - 3 = (2x +1)(x -3)
2x(x−6)(x+1)
x + 1
x2 - 2x = x(x - 2)
x(x - 2)
(x + 2)(x - 4)
(x - 5)(x + 3)
(4+x) (2x-3)
(2x - 3)(x + 2)
