anonymous · Answer

That is x^2

anonymous · Answer

ok whats 1st?

anonymous · Answer

Well it is already equal to 0 , so you factor it?

anonymous · Answer

All the terms are even. You can divide everything by 2 first.

anonymous · Answer

Then, yes, it's pretty easy to factor.

anonymous · Answer

$$\frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b ^{2}-4ac} }{ 2a }$$

anonymous · Answer

do you know this equation?

anonymous · Answer

factoring :
4x^2+34x + 60
4x^2 +24x+10x+60
4x(x+6) + 10(x+6)
(4x + 10) (x+6) = 0
can you do it now ?

anonymous · Answer

Yea, Haven't seen it since Algebra I though.

anonymous · Answer

a = 4
b = 34
c = 60

plug in and you will get the solution

anonymous · Answer

Okay, I think I got it.. Thank you.

anonymous · Answer

Woops, was supposed to be
2x^2 +17x +30 = 2x^2 +12x +5x +30
Then you can factor.
(I think quadratic formula is overkill on this one...)
