First of all you need to expand this expression. you do this by multiplying the number outside the brackets with each term inside the brackets. this is the first one ;   3 x 2a = 6a, 3 x 5 = 15. the extra + sign in the first brackets stays between the two terms, so the first set of brackets is now 6a + 15. now we have to look at the second ; 5 x a = 5a, 5 x 2 = 10, like the extra + sign, the extra - sign stays between the two terms as well, so the second bracket is now 5a-10. you put them together to get  6a + 15 + 5a - 10.

next you need to simplify the expression. first you need to group like terms,        e.g. the numbers and the letters.   <u>6a</u> + <em>15 </em><u>+5a</u> <em>-</em><em>10.</em> the 6a + 5a = <em><u>11a</u></em> and the 15 - 10 = <u><em>+</em></u><em><u>5</u></em>. you then put these two terms together to get your final answer of <em><u>
</u></em>

<u><em>11a + 5</em></u>

Take the first bracket and it's multiplication, 3(2a+5)
You expand my multiplying everything inside the bracket by the number outside.
3*2a = 6a
3*5 = 15
Then multiply out the second bracket, 5(a-2)
5*a = 5a
5*-2 = -10
So now you have 6a + 15 + 5a - 10
Simplify it by collecting like terms, and you have:
11a + 5
And that's the answer, hope I helped!

16. Factor<br> 40y3 - 625
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

prime factorization

40y³ = 2³×5y³

625 = 5⁴

Greatest common factor = 5

40y³ - 625 = 5(8y³ - 125)

Note that 8y³ - 125 is the difference of cubes.

8y³ - 125 = (2y)³ - 5³ = (2y-5)((2y)² + 2y·5 + 5²) = (2y-5)(4y² + 10y + 25)

40y³ - 625 = 5(2y-5)(4y² + 10y + 25)

3102 base 4 to base 2 *show work please*
Shalnov [3]
3102 base4 = 3x4^3+ 1x4^2 + 2x1 = 3x64 + 1x16 + 2 = 210 base10
The powers of 2 are 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256
210 = 128 + 64 + 16 + 2 = 2^7 + 2^6 + 2^4 + 2^1 = 11010010 base2

A faster method is to each digit in base 4 to two digits in base 2
3 base4 = 11 base2
1 base4 = 01 base2
0 base4 = 00 base2
2 base4 = 10 base2
So 3102 base4 = 11010010 base2

If you wanted to convert base 4 to (say) base 5 you would need the first method and convert to base 10 first
