(x - 4)(x - 11)
It's an equation. If you want to solve it for x, you can do so as follows: x2 + 15x = 30 x2 + 15x + (15/2)2 = 30 + (15/2)2 (x + 15/2)2 = 30 + 225/2 x + 15/2 = ± √(285/2) x = (-15 ± √570) / 2
use the quadratic formula since there isn't a factor of 60 that when added together equals 19 The above answer is wrong because 4 and 15 are such numbers. x2 + 19x + 60 = x2 + 4x + 15x + 60 = x(x + 4) + 15(x + 4) = (x + 4)(x + 15)
