OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just do your work.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you have a specific question we can help you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i dont know how to solve x^2-7x+10=28 whats the first step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need to set this equal to zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you do that on your own?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok it would look like this :)\[x^2-7x+10 = 28\] then \[x^2-7x+10-28 = 28 -28\] so then it equals zero \[x^2-7x-18 = 0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you ready to continue?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know anything about factoring?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a little

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What 2 numbers add to -7 but multiplies to -18?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2+-9 2x-9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, so it would be \[\huge(x+9)(x-2)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know the solutions for these two as well?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isnt (-2,9)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No there would be two solutions to this equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Look at it this way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(2+9)(2-2) = (2-9)(0) = 0\] or \[(9-9)(9+2) = (9-9)(x+2)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There can be 2 values of x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes 2 and 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup! Good job :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

BTW your school beat my school's football team.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

durant beat your school which school would that be
