solve.

(2t-3)(t-4)=0

and

x^2-4x+3=0

you have to extend and combine like terms, that may help

(2t-3)(t-4)=0

t = 3/2; 4


and

x^2-4x+3=0
(x-1)(x-3)=0
x = 1; 3

Yes, because factoring is SOOOOOO hard, not.

i've decided to actually tell you how instead of just the answers.


if you have (Ax+B)(Cx+D)(etc)=0, then to get the solution you take second number in each bracket and put it over the first and change the sign.

ie:
(Ax+B)(Cx+D)(Ex+F)=0

x = -B/A; -D/C; -F/E

lol based on the average age of people on this site, he's probably in like grade 8, so they're wouldn't be anything more to it.  actually, with the way that the question is phrased, there can't be anything more to it.  "Solve" is pretty basic.

well if theyre inequalities or theyre supposed to be functions of each other or some thing like that but yeah youre probably right.

or the easier way

if you have
ie. (4x-8)(2x+4)=0

then one of the 2 has to equal 0, so either 4x-8=0 or 2x+4=0
4x=8 2x=-4
x=2 x=-2

when i get it to (x+3)(x+3) would the answer then be x=-3 or does it stay positive

(x+3)(x+3) would be x^2 (squared) plus 9x plus 9
x^2+9x+9 but if you are looking for the value of x, the (x+3)(x+3) has to = 0 to solve for x
and then you make each parenthesis equal to 0 (x+3=0) subtract 3, and x = -3
serial. this shit is easy what grade u in?

I was going to say that but i realized I at one point did this kind of math, but then again I realized my math text book would probably teach me math better than a skiing website.

k i did all the problems like that but the HARDEST PROBLEM IN THE WKST IS

2x^2+12=10x

easy, just move the 10x to the left side.

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

next, factor out a 2 so it's easier

2(x^2-5x+6)=0
2(x-3)(x-2)=0

x = 3; 2

YOU ARE ALL FUCKING NOOBS. EITHER PARENTHESES HAVE TO EQUAL 0 EXAMPLE: (X-3) =0 3-3=0 SO X=3

Hey math is hard when you havent done it for a while. It's been like years since I did factorials.
Just thought I mention i've forgotten all math
