Question

Complete this statement

Answer 1

We have to complete the statement of

$20ax^2+25ax+15a = 5a\left ( \ \ \ \ \ \ \right )$

The left hand side is given by

$20ax^2+25ax+15a$

Now when we take GCF as 5a, then we have to divide each term of the expression with 5a. Thus, we have

$20ax^2+25ax+15a = 5a \left (\frac{20ax^2}{5a}+\frac{25ax}{5a}+\frac{15a}{5a} \right )\\ \\ 20ax^2+25ax+15a = 5a\left ( 4x^2 +5x+3 \right )$

Therefore, to complete the statement we need to enter $4x^2 +5x+3$ in the box.
