is this factorable? I cant figure out what times what equals -22 but added together equals 121... the problem is b^2+121-22b. So far I have (b )(b )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it the other way around what times what equals 121 and added together equals -22 because if that was the case then -11 and -11 would be the answer and makes a lot more sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah but that would give me b^2-22b+121 instead of b^2+121-22b when I multiply to check... This one doesn't make any sense

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

looks like a perfect square (b - 11)^2... so only 1 value b = 11

oh I had it in the wrong form, thanks, that does make a lot more sense... man I really suck at math lol
