Vocaloid (vocaloid):

do you know how to factor x^2 + 5x - 6?

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Kinda.

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

so, what's your best guess?

OpenStudy (liv1234):

My best guess would have to be (x-1)(x+6)

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

very good! now we just go back to our problem and replace it with that

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

OpenStudy (liv1234):

(x-7)(x-4)

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good, now let's write that down|dw:1465238823497:dw|
