X2+2x-35

How can you simplify 2+48-21

x2-2x-35

Final result:

(x + 5) • (x - 7)

Step by step solution:

Step 1:

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

1.1 Factoring x2-2x-35

The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1.

The middle term is, - 2x its coefficient is - 2.

The last term, "the constant", is - 35

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • - 35 = - 35

Step-2 : Find two factors of - 35 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is - 2.

-35 + 1 = - 34

-7 + 5 = - 2 That's it

Step-by-step explanation: 2+48-21

Final Result:
