Given 2x^2 + 7x + 5
In order to begin factoring, you need to determine a desired product (number you are trying to multiply to) and a sum (number you are trying to add to).
What is the desired product (number are you trying to multiply to)? type your answer...
What is the desired sum (number are you trying to add to)?

One shot. if 60% of 10 is 6, then what is 70%? we know it would be seven (since 60% is mathematically 60/100, or 6/10, then 70% is 70/100, or 7/10) but we can check anyway using ratios: 6 : 60% = x : 70%*inverse multiplicationx * 60% = 6 * 70%*divide both sides by 60%x = (6 * 70%) / 60%x = 7and since he has made 6 shots already, he would need just one more to get 7 shots or 70%. if the explanation is too confusing, comment and i will try to
