If an equation is x^2-15x-6750 can you please simplify the split the middle term method. Because forming factors that will result in the addition as 15x is difficult for me

Hey @avantikajadon30,
We can solve the equation x^2-15x-6750 = 0 by splitting the middle terms using factors of the last term (-6750) into it's factors which would add up to 15. two such factors of 6705 are (-90) + (75).
hence we can write the above equation as: x^2-90x + 75x - 6750 = 0
=> x(x-90)+75(x-90) = 0
=> (x+75)(x-90)=0
Hence the roots of the equation are -90 and 75.
I hope this helps.
Happy learning!
