1852.0. "Illegible quadratic" by AUSSIE::GARSON (Hotel Garson: No Vacancies) Mon Mar 14 1994 01:10

    A barely readable old manuscript contains the following factorised
    quadratic:
    
    x�+#x-#1 = (x+##)(x-#)
    
    where # represents an unreadable digit. (A # may or may not be the same
    digit as any other #.) Reconstruct the factorisation.
