5 0

You should subtract 5 from both sides next.

Adding 2x to both side will give you the following.

5 + 5x = 9

And since you got all the variable terms to the left, you want all the constant terms to the right. You do that by subtracting 5 from both sides. This gives you the below statement.

5x = 4

You can then divide to solve.

x = 4/5 or .8

Solve this please with steps b^4-3b^3-10b^2

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There's no "solving" to be done because its an expression, but im assuming the question wants you to factor.

$b^4-3b^3-10b^2$

First, factor out a b^2

$b^2(b^2-3b-10)$

Factor the trinomial. What two numbers multiply to equal -10 but add to equal -3? They are -5 and +2

$b^2((b-5)(b+2))$
