How do you factor n2 equals 10n plus 56?

Answer 1

n2 = 10n + 56

Subtract (10n + 56) from each side:

n2 - 10n - 56 = 0

Now you have something on the left side that you can factor:

(n - 14) (n + 4) = 0

n = +14

n = - 4

Answer 2

If: n squared = 10n+56

Then: n squared -10n -56 = 0

When factored: (n-14)(n+4) = 0
