Exercise
$14=x^2-4x$
Step-by-step Solution
Learn how to solve polynomial factorization problems step by step online. Solve the quadratic equation 14=x^2-4x. Factor the polynomial x^2-4x. Add and subtract \left(\frac{b}{2}\right)^2, replacing b by it's value -4. Now, we can factor x^2+-4x+4 as a squared binomial of the form \left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^2. Rearrange the equation. We need to isolate the dependent variable x, we can do that by simultaneously subtracting -4 from both sides of the equation.
