answer is x2-2x=35

Two solutions were found :


x = 7

x = -5


Rearrange:


Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :


x^2-2*x-(35)=0

To solve this question, one way to do it is to simply move the 35 over to the other side and then find out what 2 number would multiply to give -35.

Which would also add to give 2. This would be 7 and -5.

Thus the factored values would be

(X+7)(X-5).
