Answer:

2

+

20

The simplest way to do this is using the quadratic EQUATION:

x

=

−

b

±

√

b

2

−

4

a

c

2

a

Where,

a

=

2

b

=

−

13

c

=

Therefore,

2

x

)

(

x

)

Step-by-step explanation:

u

2

x

2

−

13

x

+

20

Factors of

20

⋅

2

which add up to -13 are -5 and -8

so you can replace -13 with -5 and -8 such that:

2

x

2

−

5

x

−

8

x

+

20

which goes to:

x

(

2

x

−

5

)

−

4

(

2

x

−

5

)

Take the expressions not in the brackets together to GET:

(

x

−

4

)

(

2

x

−

5

)
