First, you would have to do 11x + 3x Since you're combining like terms.
Now your problem is 14x + 40 = -24
Now you would do 40 - -24 which is now 40+24 and equal to 64.
Now you divide 14 by 64 and you get 4.5
Add all the numbers together. And then divide by the answer you get!
I am not sure but I did this in my head and then I did it on the calculator and it was 20
This means it has infinite solutions congrats. When solving algebraic equations you can find one solution, no solutions. When you have infinite solutions that means that equations has multiple things that can equal it.
The answer is 5(x - 4)(x - 6)
5x² – 50x + 120 = 5*x² - 5*10x + 5*24
= 5(x² - 10x + 24)
= 5(x * x - 4x - 6x + 6*4)
= 5(x(x - 4) - (6x - 6*4))
= 5((x(x - 4) - 6(x - 4))
= 5(x - 4)(x - 6)
