Solve by factoring is used to solve equations that have an x 2 (or higher) term in them. Factoring is when something is broken into pieces that _multiply_ to give the original, for example 35 is factored as 5 * 7.
Q. What are some methods of solving quadratic equations?
Q. What are the steps in solving equation using factoring method?
To solve an quadratic equation using factoring :
- 1 . Transform the equation using standard form in which one side is zero.
- 2 . Factor the non-zero side.
- 3 . Set each factor to zero (Remember: a product of factors is zero if and only if one or more of the factors is zero).
- 4 . Solve each resulting equation.
Q. What is the first step to solve the equation by factoring?
When solving quadratic equations by factoring, the first step is to put the equation in standard form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, equal to zero. Solve: Obtain standard form and then factor. Set each factor equal to zero and solve.

Q. Are all quadratic equation can be solved using factoring?
Many quadratic equations can be solved by factoring when the equation has a leading coefficient of 1 or if the equation is a difference of squares. The zero-factor property is then used to find solutions. Many quadratic equations with a leading coefficient other than 1 can be solved by factoring using the grouping method.
The Solve by Factoring process will require four major steps: Move all terms to one side of the equation, usually the left, using addition or subtraction. Factor the equation completely. Set each factor equal to zero, and solve.
Q. What does solve by factoring mean?
Method 1 of 3: Factoring the Equation. Combine all of the like terms and move them to one side of the equation.
