Question
Factor the expression
(x−30)(x+25)
Evaluate
x2−5x−750
Rewrite the expression
x2+(25−30)x−750
Calculate
x2+25x−30x−750
Rewrite the expression
x×x+x×25−30x−30×25
Factor out x from the expression
x(x+25)−30x−30×25
Factor out −30 from the expression
x(x+25)−30(x+25)
Solution
(x−30)(x+25)

Factor out −30 from the expression
x(x+25)−30(x+25)
Factor out x+25 from the expression
(x−30)(x+25)
(x−30)(x+25)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
x−30=0x+25=0
Solve the equation for x
More Steps

Evaluate
x−30=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0+30
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=30
x=30x+25=0
Solve the equation for x
