Why don't you just divide them?

parthkohli · Answer

You may factorise and then cancel(better idea)

anonymous · Answer

they really reach for these word problems don't they
what is wrong with "factor" or "divide"

anonymous · Answer

i just dont know how to do this at all

parthkohli · Answer

Do you know how to factor quadratic expressions? I'll be 'oops'ing if you dont

anonymous · Answer

$$x^2-3x-10=(x-5)(x+2)$$

parthkohli · Answer

seems like you already have the answer :?

parthkohli · Answer

Put it as a fraction and then cancel out

anonymous · Answer

they are trying to say "one factor is $(x+2)$ that is the other one? "
it is as dumb way to ask a simple question
no wonder you are confused

anonymous · Answer

at this point right now i just wanna know whats the answer
