Question

Factor 2m2 + 27m + 70

Answer 1

What two numbers multiplied together gives you 140, and also adds together to 27?

Answer 2

i have no idea, D:

Answer 3

Ill give you a hint, one of the numbers is 20

Answer 4

20 and 7

Answer 5

Yeah so we decompose the middle term to get
2m^2 +20m +7m + 70
Do you what to do from here?

Answer 6

no. :/ hmm

Answer 7

(2m+7)(m+10)

Answer 8

Ill take out 2m from the first two terms to get
2m(m+10) + 7m + 70
And i'll take out 7 from the last two terms
2m(m+10) + 7(m+10)
Then you factor out the m+10, and you get what mad scientist got =/
