3. Set each factor equal to 0
4. Solve each equation.

Answer 2

how

Answer 3

1. Factor out 2

Answer 4

2(x?

Answer 5

\[2(x^2-8x+15)=0\]

Answer 6

is that it?

Answer 7

No. Now do step 2 as I outlined above. You do know how to factor I assume? Because you cannot solve quadratic equations by factoring if you don't know how to factor.

Answer 8

2(x-3)(x+5)?

Answer 9

That would give you -15 on the end and +2x in the middle.

Answer 10

switch the signs?

Answer 11

Try it and see if it works.

Answer 12

Or am I getting that you don't know how to multiply two binomials using FOIL?

Answer 13

no :(
