Answer:

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 :

29
