w^2-11w+30=0

Answer 1

If you have to factor this, start with:

(w )(w )

Then you need two factors that when ADDED together gives you -11, and when multiplied together gives you 30. Can you come up with these factors?

Answer 2

To get the factors, find two numbers that will multiply to get 30 and add to get -11.

I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.
