x^2-3x=10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Subtract the ten from both sides and then now you have a quadratic (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2-3x-10=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So then after, you have to factor it. (x+2)(x-5) Or you could do the quadratic equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so thats the final answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well whatever x is. So find out what is could be.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm can u plz help me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, if you factor it, you get (x-5)(x+2)=0 So what you're going to do is set each thing to zero (x-5)=0 (x+2)=0 The results from those two equations is your two answers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok 5-5 and -2+2 am i right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um. you mean x= 5,-2 yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that wat i meant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would that be the final answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then yeah that's your answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):
