Find the equation equivalent to 0=3x2+27x+300=-3 x^{2}+27 x+30.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We are given the quadratic equation 0=3x2+27x+300 = -3x^2 + 27x + 30.
2. We need to find an equivalent equation, which means it has the same solutions as the given equation.

STEP 2

To find an equivalent equation, we can factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from all terms of the given equation.

STEP 3

Identify the GCF of the coefficients of the terms in the equation.
The GCF of 3,27, -3, 27, and 30 30 is 3 3 .

STEP 4

Factor out the GCF from each term of the equation.
0=3(x29x10)0 = -3(x^2 - 9x - 10)

STEP 5

Now, we need to factor the quadratic expression inside the parentheses.

STEP 6

To factor the quadratic expression x29x10x^2 - 9x - 10, we look for two numbers that multiply to 10 -10 (the constant term) and add up to 9 -9 (the coefficient of the linear term).

STEP 7

The two numbers that satisfy these conditions are 10 -10 and 1 1 , because 10×1=10 -10 \times 1 = -10 and 10+1=9 -10 + 1 = -9 .

STEP 8

Use these two numbers to express the quadratic expression as a product of two binomials.
x29x10=(x10)(x+1)x^2 - 9x - 10 = (x - 10)(x + 1)

STEP 9

Substitute the factored form of the quadratic expression back into the equation.
0=3(x10)(x+1)0 = -3(x - 10)(x + 1)

STEP 10

The equation 0=3(x10)(x+1)0 = -3(x - 10)(x + 1) is equivalent to the given equation 0=3x2+27x+300 = -3x^2 + 27x + 30.
The equivalent equation is 0=3(x10)(x+1)0 = -3(x - 10)(x + 1).
