Solve 2x^2 + 12x = 10. Walk me through each step please?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

start by subtracting 10 from each side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay. 2x^2 + 2x =0

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

almost

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

2x^2 + 12x - 10 = 0 remember, what we do to one side we must do to the other side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i see. next step?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

then we factor out 2 to get 2(x^2 + 6x - 5)

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

this doesn't factor evenly so we need to use the quadratic formula
