Question

(x^2+10x+24)/(x+6)

Answer 1

Hint: x^2 + 10x + 24 factors to (x+4)(x+6) since 4+6 = 10 and 4*6 = 24

Answer 2

how do you get rid of the 10x??

Answer 3

(x+4)(x+6)

x(x+6)+4(x+6)

x^2 + 6x + 4x + 24

x^2 + 10x + 24

Follow that backwards to show that x^2 + 10x + 24 factors to (x+4)(x+6)

Answer 4

I know the answer is x+4

Answer 5

We need to find two numbers that multiply to 24 and add to 10

Answer 6

These two numbers are 4 and 6

Answer 7

So it factors to (x+4)(x+6)
