math help
g and h are both intergers −6x+5=(x+g)(x+h) there are two possible values for g. Write one of them below

sorry didnt see you my b
are there any other questions before this one? can you make a screen copy of this question. It is not making sense. Maybe more info will help
ight i will try
try this @phi u might have to zoom in to see the question
ok, it makes more sense the question should read \[ x^2−6x+5=(x+g)(x+h) \] they want you to factor x^2-6x+5 can you do that ?
uhh hold up plz
to factor you follow a complicated plan: look at the last number, and list the ways you can multiply 2 numbers to get 5 1,5 is the only choice (24 would be 1,24; 2,12; 3,8; 4,6;) the + sign on the last number +5 means the two factors are the same sign now look at the middle number -6. the - means the bigger factor is negative. because the factors have the same sign (from the first rule), that means both factors are negative. look at your list 1,5 (it is short, only 1 pair, so if there is an answer , this will be it) make both negative -1, -5 now add and if you get the middle number, you found the factors -1+ -5= -6 so those are the factors write (x-1)(x-5)
uhh im lost@phi
It is hard to explain here. if you have time, see https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra2/polynomial_and_rational/quad_factoring/v/factoring-quadratic-expressions
sorry phi but im bout to get a friend in n im on khan acadmy i have my own thing
