Solving quadratic equations by factoring worksheet answers algebra 1

Hey!

In order to solve any quadratic for the x-intercepts (or roots) you must set the entire equation equal to zero.

Remember, before factoring using FOIl or any similar method, always check for a GCF!

The GCF is 16x. Pulling this in front, we have:

16x(-x+3).

We know we need two roots, since the equation has a degree of two. One is in parentheses, the other is on the outside. Set both equal to zero, solve and you have:

x=3 and x=0.

Hope this helped!
