Complete the equivalent equation for - 7x - 60 = x2 + 10x. (x + ) (x + ) = 0 What are the solutions of - 7x - 60 = x2 + 10x? x =

It is positive five and positive 12. thats the top part

the bottom part is negative 5 and negative12

First get them all on one side

add 7x+60 to both sides

0=x^2+17x+60

now factor

what 2 numbers mutltiply to get 60 and add to get 17?

5 and 12

0 = (x+5) (x+12)

set each to zero

0=x+5

-5=x

0=x+12

-12=x

the factored form is (x+5) (x+12) = 0

the solutions are x=-12 and - 5
