Solution - Simplification or other simple results

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  (2x2 -  3x) -  35

Step  2  :

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

 2.1     Factoring  2x²-3x-35 

The first term is,  2x²  its coefficient is  2 .
The middle term is,  -3x  its coefficient is  -3 .
The last term, "the constant", is  -35 

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   2 • -35 = -70 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -70  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -3 .

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -10  and  7 
                     2x² - 10x + 7x - 35

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
                    2x • (x-5)
              Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
                    7 • (x-5)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
                    (2x+7)  •  (x-5)
             Which is the desired factorization

Final result :

  (x - 5) • (2x + 7)
