12r^2+13r-35

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

12r^2+13r-35 12r^2-15r+28r-35 (12r^2-15r)+(28r-35) 3r(4r-5)+(28r-35) 3r(4r-5)+7(4r-5) (3r+7)(4r-5) So 12r^2+13r-35 factors to (3r+7)(4r-5) In other words, 12r^2+13r-35=(3r+7)(4r-5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(3r+7)(4r-5)

note: 12*-35 = -420 and the two numbers -15 and 28 both multiply to -420 and add to 13

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ah I see, but you've got to include the last number (which is why you multiply -12 and 35)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
