Factor completely. x2−12x+35 enter your answer in the box.

X² - 12x + 35
x              - 7
x              -5

(x - 7)(x-5)

Check using FOIL method:

x(x) = x²
x(-5) = -5x
x(-7) = -7x
-7(-5) = 35

True

(x - 7)(x-5) should be your answer

if you are looking for x, put each parenthesis equal to 0

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

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

x = 5, 7

hope this helps
