subtract \(6x\) from both sides and add 30
that way it will be set equal to zero
OpenStudy (angiepangie0726):
Ok! I will do that now
OpenStudy (angiepangie0726):
x^2+13x+30=0
OpenStudy (misty1212):
once you do that, it will factor nicely
OpenStudy (misty1212):
yeah like that
now factor it, easy for this one

I am honestly the worst at factoring so please forgive me if I am wrong. My teacher had taught me a trick and she had said that if you take the middle number and divide by 2 that will be your number. I got 6.5 but I am not sure if that is correct or not
OpenStudy (misty1212):
no not hardly
think of two numbers that multiply to give 30 and add to give 13
OpenStudy (angiepangie0726):
Oh 10 and 3 :)
OpenStudy (misty1212):
don't think too hard, this one you get right away
right \[(x+3)(x+10)=0\]set each factor equal to zero and solve
i am sure you can do it

OpenStudy (angiepangie0726):
soooo x^2+3x+10x+30=0
