Question

X squared + 2x -35 how to solve this?

Answer 1

`x^2 + 2x -35 = (x+7)(x-5)`

It depends upon what you mean by "solve".
If you only need to factor the equation the answer is given above.

If you want to solve for `x` if the given equation is set equal to `0`.
either
`(x+7) = 0`
`rarr x = -7`
or
`(x-5) = 0`
`rarr x = 5`
