The question is solve

(x+2)(x+3)=156

I worked out that the answer is 10, and I got that xsquared + 5x = 150

The rest???

Please only answer if you actually know.

Thanks

  1. (x+2)(x+3)=156

    x^2+5x+6=156

    x^2+5x-150=0

    (x+15)(x-10)=0

    x= -15

    x=10


  2. 5x=150

    divide them =30

  3. (x+2)(x+3)=156

    x^2+5x=150               transpose 156

    x^2+5x-150=0            factor the term

    (x+15)(x-10)=0           separate

    x+15=0             x-10=0

    x=-15                 x=10

  4. the richard answer  is correct except that the answer is 10 or -15

    not 10 and -15

  5. (x + 2)(x + 3) = 156

    x*x + 2*x +  x*3 + 2*3 = 156

    x^2 + 2x + 3x + 6 = 156

    x^2 + 5x + 6 - 156 = 0

    x^2 + 5x - 150 = 0

    x^2 + 15x - 10x - 150 = 0

    (x^2 + 15x) - (10x + 150) = 0

    x(x + 15) - 10(x + 15) = 0

    (x + 15)(x - 10) = 0

    x + 15 = 0

    x = -15

    x - 10 = 0

    x = 10

    ∴ x = -15 , 10

  6. x = 10 or x = -15  :)

  7. (x+2)(x+3)=156  

    x^2+5x+6=156           first multiply it

    x^2+5x=156-6            then transpose 6

    x^2+5x-150=0            then equal it to 0

    (x+15)(x-10)=0           then factor it

    x+15=0   x-10=0        the both factors equal to 0

    x= -15

    x=10

  8. x^2 + (2 + 3)x + 6 = 156 // 15-6

    x^2 + 5x - 150 = 0

    x^2 + 2*2.5x + 2.5^2 - 2.5^2 - 150 = 0

    (x + 2.5)^2 - 6.25 - 150 = 0

    (x + 2.5)^2 - 156.25 = 0

    (x + 2.5)^2 - 12.5^2 = 0

    (x + 2.5  + 12.5)(x + 2.5 - 12.5) = 0

    (x + 15)(x - 10) = 0

    x1 = -15

    x2 = 10


  9. x sqr + 5x -150 =0
