Use factoring to solve
x^2-2x-35=0

The solution set of the quadratic equation is

x = {7, -5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic equation

We need to factor this equation

So you need two numbers such that

a + b = -2

and

a×b = -35

How about -7 and 5?

-7 + 5 = -2

-2 = -2

and

-7×5 = -35

-35 = -35

(x - 7)(x + 5) = 0

(x - 7) = 0

x = 7

and

(x + 5) = 0

x = -5

Therefore, the solution set of the quadratic equation is

x = {7, -5}

Verification:

Plug 7 into the quadratic equation

Plug -5 into the quadratic equation

for a it would be 24 children.

for b i don't understand the question. is it saying for each individual person they pick 5 reds to 7 greens or is it the whole group. clarify and i hope this can you.
