What is the expression in factored form? 13x 42

Dear student

Thank you for using chegg

Given x^2 + 13x + 42 =0

As per given equation sum of factors should be coefficient of x I.e. 13 and product of factors shall be 42.

Now 42 = 7 × 2 × 3

Clearly 7×6 are the two factors who\'s sum is 13 and product 42

Therefore in given equTion

X^2 + 7x + 6x +42 =0

X (x+ 7) +6(x + 7) = 0

(X + 6) (x + 7) =0

X = -6, -7

Solution
