I don't understand how to begin this problem

I would first add 5 and 2 together, then multiply that by 3. Finally you would subtract the 1. After solving for what is inside the parentheses you would multiply it by 2 for your final answer.

2•(3(5+2)-1)
2•(3(7)-1)
2•(21-1)
2•(20)
40

Pls help many thanks

So, let's make these two values improper fractions so they're easier to work with. $4+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{12}{3}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{13}{3} 3+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{6}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{2}$

So, to get the rate he grew in those months we have:

$\frac{\frac{13}{3} \text{inches}}{\frac{7}{2}\text{months}} =\frac{26\text{inches}}{21\text{months}}$

And to get the rate he grew in one month we have to divide both our numerator and our denominator by 21 to get:

$\frac{\frac{26}{21} \text{inches}}{\text{month}}\approx \frac{1.24\text{inches}}{\text{month}}$ aka he grew 1.24 inches in a month.

What is the factorization of the following trinomial? 15x2 - 44x - 36

BartSMP [9]

$15x^2-44x-36$

$=(15x^2+10x)+(-54x-36)$

factor out 5x from $15x^2+10x = 5x(3x+2)$

Factor out -18 from $-54x-36 = -18(3x+2)$

$=5x(3x+2)-18(3x+2)$

Factor out common term $(3x+2)$

$= (3x+2)(5x-18)$

hope this helps!
