can someone please explain to me how to do this math problem? thank you.?

"Solve each equation by factoring"

1) 4x^2(tothesecondpower)+7x=2

2) 9x^2+30x= -16

-3) 2x^2+12x - 16=0

and the quadratic part.

"write a quadratic equation with the given roots. write the equation in the form ax^2+bx+c=0, where a,b, and c are intergers.

then these numers are shown..

1) 4,5

1) 1/2,3

I was absent from school the day my class went over these equations( factoring and quadratic equation) so i don't have a general idea how to start and finish these problems. thank you so much for your time.

    4x² + 7x = 2

    4x² + 7x – 2 = 0

    product of coefficient of 1st and last term = (4)(– 2) =8

    find factors of – 8 such that their sum or difference is + 7

    8 = 1 × 8 sum = 9 and difference = 7

    8 = 4 × 2 sum = 6 and difference = 2

    out of these 1 × 8 gives difference = 7

    so 7x = +8x – x

    4x² + 7x – 2 = 0

    4x² + 8x – x – 2 = 0

    4x(x + 2) – 1(x + 2) = 0

    (4x – 1)(x + 2) = 0

    (4x – 1) = 0 or (x + 2) = 0

    x = 1/4 or x = – 2

    9x² + 30x = – 16

    9x² + 30x + 16 = 0

    9x² + 24x + 6x + 16 = 0

    3x(3x + 8) + 2(3x + 8) = 0

    (3x + 2)(3x + 8) = 0

    (3x + 2) = 0 or (3x + 8) = 0

    x = – 2/3 or x = – 8/3

    – 2x² + 12x – 16 = 0

    – 2(x² – 6x + 8) = 0 divide by – 2

    x² – 6x + 8 = 0

    x² – 4x – 2x + 8 = 0

    x(x – 4) – 2(x – 4) = 0

    (x – 2)(x – 4) = 0

    x = 2 or x = 4

    go reverse way

    roots are 4 and 5

    so x = 4 or x = 5

    therefore

    (x – 4) = 0 or (x – 5) = 0

    (x – 4)(x – 5) = 0

    x(x – 5) – 4(x – 5) = 0

    x² – 5x – 4x + 20 = 0

    x² – 9x + 20 = 0

    roots are 1/2 and 3

    so x = 1/2 or x = 3

    therefore

    (x – 1/2) = 0 or (x – 3) = 0

    (2x – 1)/2 = 0 (x – 5) = 0

    (2x – 1) = 0 (x – 5) = 0

    (2x – 1)(x – 5) = 0

    2x (x – 5) – 1(x – 5) = 0

    2x² – 10x – x + 5 = 0

    2x² – 11x + 5 = 0

    1)

    4x^2 + 7x - 2 = 0

    (4x - 1)(x + 2)

    x = 1/4 or -2

    use the same method for rest of the problems

    factoring is guess and check

    that is incredibly comparable to any multiplication of binomials, basically you ought to keep in mind i is the sq. root of -a million, so i^2 = -a million: (4 - 6i)^2 = (4 - 6i)*(4 - 6i) = sixteen - 24i - 24i + 36i^2 = sixteen - 48i - 36 = 20 - 48i
