Answer:

$(x-1)(3x-5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x^2 - 8x + 5$

To factor it we use AC or splitting the middle term method

product is 3 times 5 is 15

Sum is -8

-3 times -5 is 15

-3 plus -5 is -8

Factors are -3 and -5

$3x^2 -5x-3x+ 5$

Group first two terms and last two terms

$(3x^2 -5x)+(-3x+ 5)$

$x(3x-5)-1(3x- 5)$

Factor out 3x-5

$(x-1)(3x-5)$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$9\frac{1}{8} = 2\frac{1}{4} +x$

$\frac{9*8+1}{8} =\frac{4*2+1}{4} +x$

$\frac{73}{8} =\frac{9}{4} +x$

$\frac{73}{8} =\frac{9+4*x}{4}$

do cross multiplication

$8(4x+9)=4*73\\32x+72=292\\32x=292-72\\x=220/32\\x=6.875$

Galina-37 [17]

At the beginning there are 3 dimes out of 10 coins:
P(first coin is a dime) = 3/10

After that there are 3 nickels out of 9 remaining coins:
P(second coin is a nickel) = 3/9 = 1/3

P(dime, then nickel) = P(first coin is a dime) x P(second coin is a nickel)
= 3/10 x 1/3
= 1/10

Answer:
1/10 . if im wrong im sorry
