GCSE Maths Practice: quadratic-equations

Question 1 of 10

This question practices solving quadratic equations by factorisation. You need to simplify the equation before factoring.

›

\( \text{Solve: } 2x^2 - 10x + 12 = 0 \)

Choose one option:

Always simplify the equation first. Look for factors of \(c\) that sum to \(b\). Check your roots by substitution.

For a quadratic in the form \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\), divide by \(a\) if \(a \neq 1\). Then find two numbers that multiply to \(c\) and add to \(b\).
