Simplify ————
1250
Equation at the end of step 1 :
1
((———— • x2) - 65x) + 220000
1250
Step 2 :
Equation at the end of step 2 :
x2
(———— - 65x) + 220000
1250
Step 3 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
3.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 1250 as the denominator :
65x 65x • 1250
65x = ——— = ——————————
1 1250
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
3.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
x2 - (65x • 1250) x2 - 81250x
————————————————— = ———————————
1250 1250
Equation at the end of step 3 :
(x2 - 81250x)
————————————— + 220000
1250
Step 4 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
4.1 Adding a whole to a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 1250 as the denominator :
220000 220000 • 1250
220000 = —————— = —————————————
1 1250
Step 5 :
Pulling out like terms :
5.1 Pull out like factors :
x2 - 81250x = x • (x - 81250)
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
5.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
x • (x-81250) + 220000 • 1250 x2 - 81250x + 275000000
————————————————————————————— = ———————————————————————

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
5.3 Factoring x2 - 81250x + 275000000
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -81250x its coefficient is -81250 .
The last term, "the constant", is +275000000
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 275000000 = 275000000
Step-2 : Find two factors of 275000000 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -81250 .
Numbers too big. Method shall not be applied
Final result :
x2 - 81250x + 275000000
