9x2+6x-8 = 0
(3x+4)(3x-2) = 0
Therefore: x = -4/3 or x = 2/3

It is: 32.35 minus 10.63 equals 21.72
a2 + 2a - 3 = 0(a + 3)(a - 1)a = - 3a = 1Simple factoring where you ask yourself; what two factors of - 3 add up to 2?
The discriminant for the quadratic is b2-4ac = 302 - 4*4*45 = 900 - 720 = 180 Since 180 is not a perfect square, the roots of the equation are irrational and it is far from straightforward to solve such an equation by factoring.

Solve this problem -x squared -40x- 80 =0
x^(2) - 10x + 16 = 0 Factors of '16', which are, 1,2,4,8,16. Select two numbers from this list that add/subtract to '10' . They are '2' and '8'. Setting up brackets ( x 2)(x 8) Since '16' is positive(+), then both signs must be the same. Since '10x' is negative (-) , then both signs are negative. Hence (x - 2)(x - 8 ) = 0 When x - 2 = 0 x = 2 & when x - 8 = 0 x = 8 So the two answers are ,2, & ,8, .
