Question

How do you factor this?
2z^2-12z+10=0

Answer 1

`2x^2-12z+10=0`

Common multiple is 2.

`2(z^2-6z+5)=0`

Simplify inside parentheses.

`2(z-5)(z-1)=0` is your answer

Answer 2

This can't be factored right now! But if it is 2z^2+12z+10=0 than it will be factored like this:

2*(z+5)(z+1)

Explanation:

2*(z^2+6z+5)=0

2*(z+5)(z+1)
