@RadEn
OpenStudy (ash2326):
@lexiamee Do you know factorization?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I dont know how to figure this out

OpenStudy (ash2326):
Let's factor
\[x^2-9x+18\]Can you try?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
If you look well, there's the whole procedure. so dont be telling me that I just gave the answer
OpenStudy (ash2326):
@Luis_Rivera you did not show how to factor neither you involved the asker in the solving process.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
9=3*3
9*9=3*3*2
OpenStudy (ash2326):
Have you learnt factorization? like the factors for
\[x^2+6x+9\]
are
\[(x+3)(x+3)\]

oh okay
OpenStudy (ash2326):
@lexiamee \[x^2-6x+9\]
Tell me factors of 9, which add up to become -6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-3*2
OpenStudy (ash2326):
\[x^2-9x+18\]
Sorry Factors of 18 @lexiamee
They should multiply to give 18
and sum to become -9

-3*3
OpenStudy (ash2326):
Factors of 18 ??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3*3*2
OpenStudy (ash2326):
You're right, but they should sum to become -9
Does -6 and -3 are the required factors?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-6*-3=18

OpenStudy (ash2326):
does they add to become -9?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no
OpenStudy (ash2326):
-6 + -3
-6-3=-9
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay
OpenStudy (ash2326):
so let's write -9x as -6x -3x
\[x^2-6x-3x+18\]
can you take out x from the first two terms?

what ones ?
OpenStudy (ash2326):
\[\underline{x^2-6x}-3x+18\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
^2 - 6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
?
OpenStudy (ash2326):
\[x^2-6x=x (x-6)\]
