What non-zero integer must be placed in the square so that the simplified product of these two binomials is a binomial: $(6x+4)(15x-\Box )$?

Hey CPhill, could you look at a problem that is 15th from the top and says that the person has been stuck for an hour. Thank you!

Now it's actually 16th from the top.

(6x + 4) * (15x  - Square )

 

We  need  to  have a "square" that will  "cancel"  the  resulting  "x"  term  

 

This  can  be  done  by making the 'square"  =  -10

 

Proof

 

(6x  + 4)  (15x  - 10)  = 

 

90x^2  +  60 x - 60 x  -  40  =

 

90x^2  - 40   =   a binomial

 

 

cool cool cool
