Answer:
2(x + 1)(x - 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
First you need to find the GCF (greatest common factor). Each term has 2 in common. Factor the 2 out of each term. 2(x²- 6x + 5)
Next you need to solve inside the parenthesis with an x-puzzle. 2(x+1)(x-5)
Check your answer by multiplying. You should get the expression you began with. 2x² - 12 + 10
Y-intercept happens when x = 0
y-intercept represents if Mitch doesn't add the monthly savings, so the savings account will still remain in $175
I switched both sides of the equation in the very beginning so it would be easier to solve.
