Solving Quadratics by Factoring

Factor and Solve: Remember the two numbers you choose when factoring, are not your solutions to the equation!

x² + 13x + 12 = 0

• x = −12, −1

• x = 12, 1

• x = 13, 1

• x = −13, −1

Which is the correct factoring and solutions? 2x^2+4x-16=0

• 2(x + 4)(x - 2) = 0;   x = -4, 2

• 2(x + 8)(x - 2) = 0;   x = -8, 2

Solve by factoring:  2x²+ 7x + 6 = 0

• x= 3/2 and x = 2

• x = -3/2 and x = -2

• x = 6 and x = 7

• x = -6 and x = -7

Solve by factoring:3x² + 5x + 2 = 0  

• x = -2/3 and x = -1

• x = -3/2 and x = -1

• x = 2/3 and x = 1

• x = 2/3 and x = -1

Solve by factoring:  4x² + 11x - 3 = 0

• x = -3/4 and x = -1

• x = 4 and x = 3

• x = 1/4 and x = -3

• x = -1/4 and x = 3

Solve by factoring: x² - 9x + 20 = 0

• x = -4 and x = -5

• x = 20 and x = -9

• x = 4 and x = 5

• x = -4 and x = 5

Solve by factoring: x² + 3x - 18 = 0

• x = -3 and x = 6

• x = 3 and x = -6

• x = -9 and x = 2

• x = 9 and x = -2

Solve by factoring: 5x² + 13x + 6 = 0

• x = -2 and x = -3/5

• x = 2 and x = 3/5

• x = -2 and x = 3/5

• x = 2 and x = -3/5
