Question

(x^2+3x-2) I can't get it to add to 3x.

Answer 1

Quadratic formula.

Answer 2

xchess is again wrong.

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

This time, I am not wrong.

Answer 7

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.

Answer 8

Is it equal to zero?

Answer 9

xchess was right!!!!

Answer 10

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.

Answer 11

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

Answer 12

Nope, kens wants to factor them!

Answer 13

Yeah guyss.. man, Is THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?

Answer 14

Saifoo, you want to take this outside? :P
