    So

    find ac

    list all products that equal ac

    find the ones that add to b

    rewrite

    factor

    undistribute

    so

    25x^2-20x+4

    ac=4*25=100

    what 2 numbers, when multipied together, results in 100 but adds to - 20?, I did this in previous quesiton, the answer is - 10 and - 10

    25x^2-10x-10x+4

    (25x^2-10x) + (-10x+4)

    (5x) (5x-2) + (-2) (5x-2)

    factor out (5x-2)

    (5x-2) (5x-2)

    well, there is no equal sign, but we will assume it equals 0

    (5x-2) ^2=0

    5x-2=0

    5x=2

    x=2/5

    25=5*5=1*25

    4=2*2=1*4

    Factor to get sum of-20

    (5x-2) (5x-2)

    solve 5x-2=0=>x=2/5 is root of multiplicity 2 for both functions.
