2n2 -7n -30 = 0

2n2- 12n + 5n -30 = 0

Take out common factor 2n and 5

2n(n - 6) + 5(n - 6) = 0

Take out common factor n - 6

(n - 6)(2n + 5) = 0

ab = 0 then a =0 or b = 0

n - 6 = 0 or 2n + 5 = 0

n - 6 = 0

Add 6 to each side

n - 6  + 6 = 6

n = 6

2n + 5 = 0

Subtract 5 from each side

2n +5 - 5 = -5

2n = -5

Multiply each side by 2

n = -5 / 2

The roots of the equation : n = 6 or -5 / 2.

2r2+ 2r  - 40 = 0

2r2 +10r -8r  -40 = 0

Take out common factor 2r and -8

2r(r + 5) -8(r + 5) = 0

Take out common factor  r + 5

(r + 5)(2r - 8) = 0

ab = 0 then a =0 or b = 0

r +5 = 0 or 2r - 8 =0

r+ 5 =0

Subtract 5 from each side

r = -5

2r - 8 = 0

Add 8 to each side

2r = 8

Divide each side by 2

r = 4

The roots of the equation -5 and 4.
