Factor the expression
(x−11)(x+5)
Evaluate
x2−6x−55
Rewrite the expression
x2+(5−11)x−55
Calculate
x2+5x−11x−55
Rewrite the expression
x×x+x×5−11x−11×5
Factor out x from the expression
x(x+5)−11x−11×5
Factor out −11 from the expression
x(x+5)−11(x+5)
Solution
(x−11)(x+5)

Calculate
x2+5x−11x−55
Rewrite the expression
x×x+x×5−11x−11×5
Factor out x from the expression
x(x+5)−11x−11×5
Factor out −11 from the expression
x(x+5)−11(x+5)
Factor out x+5 from the expression
(x−11)(x+5)
(x−11)(x+5)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
x−11=0x+5=0
Solve the equation for x
More Steps
Evaluate
x−11=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0+11
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=11
x=11x+5=0
Solve the equation for x
More Steps
Evaluate
x+5=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0−5
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=−5
x=11x=−5
Solution
x1=−5,x2=11
