(x - 1) (x + 2)

Solution steps

x^{2} + x - 2

Break the expression into groups

= (x^{2} - x) + (2 x - 2)

Factor out

x

from

x^{2} - x : x (x - 1)

Factor out

2

from

2 x - 2 : 2 (x - 1)

= x (x - 1) + 2 (x - 1)

Popular Examples

5 a + 3 = 28

simplify (5^2)^4 simplify

(5^{2})^{4}

simplify (1/5)^6 simplify

(\frac{1}{5})^{6}

5+94=53x+53-33x

5 + 94 = 53 x + 53 - 33 x

B=(5*37414-3400*59.2)/(5*2503800-3400^2)

B = \frac{5 \cdot 37414 - 3400 \cdot 59.2}{5 \cdot 2503800 - 340 0 ^{2}}
