Solve for n:
2 n^2-38 n+180 = 0

 

The left hand side factors into a product with three terms:
2 (n-10) (n-9) = 0

 

Divide both sides by 2:
(n-10) (n-9) = 0

 

Split into two equations:
n-10 = 0 or n-9 = 0

 

Add 10 to both sides:
n = 10 or n-9 = 0

 

Add 9 to both sides:
Answer: |  n = 10        or         n = 9
