im not sure where to start

Answer 5

Ok. Give me a sec to find the equation. Its been a couple chapters.

Answer 6

Ok found it. The equation is x^2-(s1+s2)x=s1s2. Remember this formula?

Answer 7

ok whats the s1 s2 represent? we may have used a different style maybe?

Answer 8

the s1 stands for solution 1 and s2 stands for solution 2. So in this problem your s1is -2 and your s2 is 5.

Answer 9

So do you think you can find the equation?

Answer 10

ok would it be x2+3x-10?

Answer 11

Indeed.

Answer 12

No. Whoops. my bad. that answer should be x^2-3x-10
