Factorize ×2+3×-28=0

1 answer

If your question means:

Factorize x² + 3 x - 28 = 0 then first one remark:

3 x = - 4 x + 7 x

So:

x² + 3 x - 28 = x² - 4 x + 7 x - 28
_________________________

x² + 3 x - 28 = 0

( x² - 4 x ) + ( 7 x - 28 ) = 0

x ( x - 4 ) + 7 ( x - 4 ) = 0

( x - 4 ) ( x + 7 ) = 0
