Question

anonymous · Answer

Quadratic formula.

saifoo.khan · Answer

xchess is again wrong.

anonymous · Answer

You can and sum would be x^2+3x-2+3x=x^2+6x-2

anonymous · Answer

?
it doesn't add to 3x
unless the problem is 
$$x^2+3x-2+3x$$ which is 
$$x^2+6x-2$$

anonymous · Answer

known in the math biz and "combine like terms"
terms with same variable, same exponent

anonymous · Answer

This time, I am not wrong.

anonymous · Answer

Well, the original equation was 5x^2+15x-10. So, I factored out the 5.. and then got 5(x^2+3x-2)... and to further simplify that, I don't know how.

anonymous · Answer

Is it equal to zero?

anonymous · Answer

xchess was right!!!!

anonymous · Answer

Not equal to anything.. it just says to factor it out. 
this is supposed to be a review.. but it's been like 3 years since we've done this. lammeee.

anonymous · Answer

But I thought quadratic was only for if it equals 0?

saifoo.khan · Answer

anonymous · Answer
