How does factoring help solve quadratic equations?
Well, that's one method to solve the quadratic equation. Here is an example (using the symbol "^" for power): solve x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0 Step 1: Convert the equation to a form in which the right side is equal to zero. (Already done in this example.) Step 2: Factor the left side. In this case, (x - 3) (x - 2) = 0 Step 3: Use the fact that if a product is zero, at least one of its factors must be zero. This lets you convert the equation to two equations; x - 3 = 0 OR x - 2 = 0 Step 4: Solve each of the two equations.
How do you solve equation 2x plus 5 equals 26-x?
2x+5 = 26 - x Step (1)= Move all same variable to the same side. 2x+x = 26-5 Step (2)= Perform the mathematical operation. 3x=21 Step (3) = Divide x= 21/3 = 7 Final answer: x =7
Solve for X: Step 1?
How do you get x by itself? Subtract 2 from both sides
Can you solve 2x 6 equals 4?
Yes you can answer it! -- Step 1. 2x(6)=4 Step 2. 2x=4/6 Step 3. 2x=0.6 (repeating) Step 4. x=0.6 (repeating)/ 2 Step 5. x=0.3 (repeating)
What is x plus 8 equals 11?
x=3 For the equation x + 8 = 11, only one step is required to solve for x Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation to get the x term by itself. 11-8=3, so x=3
