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?

no

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

Are you ready to continue?

a little

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?

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
