The complete factorization of 15x² - 6x + 5xy - 2y is (5x - 2)(3x + y)

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have an expression of four terms, then we factorize it by using

the grouping factorization

In grouping factorization we do that

1. Collect each two terms with common factors into 2 brackets

2. Take the common factor from each bracket, which make the brackets

equal each other

3. Take the bracket as a common factor, the answer will be 2 factors

multiply by each other

∵ The expression is 15x² - 6x + 5xy - 2y

- Take the first 2 terms in a bracket and the last 2 terms in another

bracket

∴ (15x² - 6x) + (5xy - 2y)

∵ The common factor of 15x² and 6x is 3x

- Divide each term by 3x

∵ 15x² ÷ 3x = 5x

∵ 6x ÷ 3x = 2

∴ (15x² - 6x) = 3x(5x - 2)

∵ The common factor of 5xy and 2y is y

- Divide each term by the common factor y

∵ 5xy ÷ y = 5x

∴ 2y ÷ y = 2

∴ (5xy - 2y) = y(5x - 2)

∴ (15x² - 6x) + (5xy - 2y) = 3x(5x - 2) + y(5x - 2)

∵ The bracket (5x - 2) is a common factor of the two terms

- Divide each term by the common factor (5x - 2)

∵ 3x(5x - 2) ÷ (5x - 2) = 3x

∵ y(5x - 2) ÷ (5x - 2) = y

∴ 3x(5x - 2) + y(5x - 2) = (5x - 2)(3x + y)

∴ 15x² - 6x + 5xy - 2y = (5x - 2)(3x + y)

The complete factorization of 15x² - 6x + 5xy - 2y is (5x - 2)(3x + y)

2 feet to 2 yards ratio

vredina [299]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Three feet make a yard, so 2 yards is 6 feet

$\frac{2}{6}$ If we divide the top (numerator) and the bottom (denominator) by 2 we get

$\frac{2}{6}$ ÷ $\frac{2}{2}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$

The ratio of the number of oranges in a fruit salad to people served is 9/40. If Lisa wants to serve 800 people, how many orange

zysi [14]

180

Step-by-step explanation:

9:40

?:800

9×20=180

40×20=800

it is a ratio. 9 oranges to 40 people. 40 times 20 is 800 so you do the same to 9 (which gives you 180)

-3m-[2m+(5-m)]+7 explain how the simplified answer: 2-4m is correct

gulaghasi [49]

Step-by-step explanation:

So what you can do is first get ride of the parentheses around 5-m so:

$-3m - (2m + 5-m)+7$

Then, you can simplify the numbers inside the parentheses, so:

$-3m-(m+5) + 7$

Then, you can get rid of the parentheses by distributing the - sign:

$-3m-m-5+7$

Next, just combine like terms:

$-4m + 2$ or $2-4m$

$3(4x + 3)$
you find what number goes into both number and pull that number outside and then write. 3 (_x+_). you are reversing the distributive property. Hope this helped
