Date Period

Step 1- Put all terms on one side of the equal sign, leaving zero on the other side.
(Make sure it's in Standard Form)
Step 2- Factor
Step 3- Set each factor equal to zero
Step 4- Solve each equation.

1) a2 + 8 = −9a 2) n2 = −8n

3) x2 − 2x = 8 4) n2 + 11n = −30

5) r2 − 10 = 3r 6) x2 = 18 − 3x

7) v2 − 5v = 24 8) x2 = −4x + 21

9) x2 − 6 = −5x 10) m2 = 32 − 4m

11) x2 + 2x = 35 12) n2 = 36
13) n2 − 12 = 4n 14) x2 = 4x + 21

Solve each equation by factoring.
