Factor x2 - x - 90 = 0

Any ideas?

OpenStudy (shealyn):

put 90 on the other side????????

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Hint: since -90 is negative what two numbers multiply to give -90 and add to give -1? $$x^2-x-90=(x+r)(x-s)$$

OpenStudy (shealyn):

10 and 9

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

You got it :-D

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

(x + 9)(x - 10)

thank you
