Question

How do you factor quadratics into binomials the question says

x^2+10x+24=x
i really don't understand that (it's 10th grade geometry)

Answer 1

x^2+9x+24=0 i believe, i’m only in 7th grade so

also, you factor the equation equal to zero and factor the left side

Answer 2

not factorable

Explanation:

x^2 + 10x + 24 = x

Bring all terms to the left side and combine like terms.

Subtract x from both sides.

x^2 + 9x + 24 = 0

To factor the trinomial x^2 + 9x + 24, you need to find two integers that add to 9 and multiply to 24. Let's look at factors of 24.

24 * 1 = 24; 24 + 1 = 25

12 * 2 = 24; 12 + 2 = 14

8 * 3 = 24; 8 + 3 = 11

6 * 4 = 24; 6 + 4 = 10

There is no pair of integers whose product is 24 and whose sum is 9, so this trinomial cannot be factored.
