solve z^2 - 3z = 54 by factoring

Re: solve by factoring

\(\displaystyle z^{2}-3z-54=0\)

What two numbers when added equal -3 and when multiplied equal -54?.

Find those and you have it.

can you help with this
z^2-3z=54

Or use solution to quadratic equation:

\(\displaystyle A\cdot x^2 \, + \, B\cdot x \, + \, C \, = \, A\cdot (x \, - \, x_1)\cdot(x \, - \, x_2)\)

where

\(\displaystyle x_{1,2} \, = \, \frac{-B \pm \sqrt{B^2 \, - \, 4AC}}{2A}\)
