Please type your subject in the School Subject box. Any other words, including obscure abbreviations, are likely to delay responses from a teacher who knows that subject well.
x^2+4x-60=0
You have to look for two numbers that multiply to the last term (-60) and add to the middle term (4). In this case, the numbers are 10 and -6. We write them like this:
(x+10)(x-6)
Check my work.

Check my work.
2x + 4x=60
6x=60
x=60/6
so x=10
