The pic is blurry, but looks like 18x²-21x-15
(3x-5)(6x+3) is the factored form. 
3 and 6 are the factors of 18
-5, 3 or -3, 5 are the factors of -15
I line them up like this
3   -5
6    3
then I multiple them diagonally: 3*3=9, -5*6=-30, the sum of 9 and -30 is exactly -21, the coefficient for x. (If the sum doesn't make -21, I'd switch -5 and 3, or change to -3 and 5 to try again.) 
so the factored form is (3x-5)(6x+3)

Answers matching "The combined average weight of an okapi and a llama is 450 kilograms. The average weight of 3 llamas is 190 ki
kirill [66]

Let us say that:

x = weight of llamas

y = weight of okapi

 

From the problem, we can create the equations:

x + y = 450           --> 1

3 x = y + 190        --> 2

 

Rewriting equation 1:

x = 450 – y

 

From equation 2:

3 (450 – y) = y + 190

1350 – 3 y = y + 190

4 y = 1160

y = 290

 

From equation 1:

x = 450 – 290

x = 160

 

Therefore a llama weighs 160 kilograms while okapi weigh 290 kilograms on average.
