-x2 + x + 42 = -[x2 - x - 42] = -[x2 - 7x + 6x - 42] = -[x*(x - 7) + 6*(x - 7)] = -(x - 7)*(x + 6)
If you're looking to solve for x, you can do so as follows: x2 + 12x - 6 = 0 x2 + 12x + 36 = 42 (x + 6)2 = 42 x + 6 = ± √42 x = -6 ± √42
7 x 6 = 42 20 x 6 = 120 42 + 120 = 162
1 x 42, 2 x 21, 3 x 14, 6 x 7, 7 x 6, 14 x 3, 21 x 2, 42 x 1 = 42
-x2 + x + 42= -x2 + 7x - 6x + 42= 7x - x2 + 42 - 6x= x(7 - x) + 6(7 - x)= (7 - x)(x + 6)
12 x 2 = 42 14 x 3 = 42 7 x 6 = 42 6 x 7 = 42 2 x 12 = 42 3 x 14 = 42
-x2 + x + 42 = -[x2 - x - 42] = -[x2 - 7x + 6x - 42] = -[x*(x - 7) + 6*(x - 7)] = -(x - 7)*(x + 6)

42 = 1 x 42, 2 x 21, 3 x 14, 6 x 7, 7 x 6, 14 x 3, 21 x 2, 42 x 1
If you're looking to solve for x, you can do so as follows: x2 + 12x - 6 = 0 x2 + 12x + 36 = 42 (x + 6)2 = 42 x + 6 = ± √42 x = -6 ± √42
7 x 6 = 42 20 x 6 = 120 42 + 120 = 162
√6 x √42 = 2.44948974278318 x 6.48074069840786 = 15.8745078663875

42
NO!!! 42 is a multiple of '6'. ( 6 x 7 = 42) However, 6 is a factor of 42.
1 x 42, 2 x 21, 3 x 14, 6 x 7, 7 x 6, 14 x 3, 21 x 2, 42 x 1 = 42
