Factor the expression
(x−10)(x+3)
Evaluate
x2−7x−30
Rewrite the expression
x2+(3−10)x−30
Calculate
x2+3x−10x−30
Rewrite the expression
x×x+x×3−10x−10×3
Factor out x from the expression
x(x+3)−10x−10×3
Factor out −10 from the expression
x(x+3)−10(x+3)
Solution
(x−10)(x+3)

Rewrite the expression
x2+(3−10)x−30
Calculate
x2+3x−10x−30
Rewrite the expression
x×x+x×3−10x−10×3
Factor out x from the expression
x(x+3)−10x−10×3
Factor out −10 from the expression
x(x+3)−10(x+3)
Factor out x+3 from the expression
(x−10)(x+3)
(x−10)(x+3)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
x−10=0x+3=0
Solve the equation for x
More Steps
Evaluate
x−10=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0+10
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=10
x=10x+3=0
Solve the equation for x

Evaluate
x+3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0−3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=−3
x=10x=−3
Solution
x1=−3,x2=10
