The correct first step is to add 2x to both sides. Then, add 3 to both sides. You will then get 8<10x. Finally, divide both sides by 10. You get x>8/10. You can simplify that to x>4/5.

How would I factor this?<br><br>14u^2 - 33u - 5

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

(7u+1)(2u-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

miltiply the coefficient of u² and the integer -5 = -70

from basic intuition: factors are -35 and +2

(which when added gives -33 and multiplies to give 70)

14u² -35u +2u -5

7u(2u-5) +1(2u-5)

(7u+1)(2u-5)
