So for this trinomial, I will be factoring by grouping. Firstly, what two terms have a product of 16x^2 and a sum of 10x? That would be 8x and 2x. Replace 10x with 2x + 8x:
Next, factor x^2 + 2x and 8x + 16 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity inside the parentheses: 
<u>Now you can rewrite this as 
, which is your final answer.</u>
Answer:
just substitute x for 5 and then solve and then substitute x for -1 and solve and subtract the two answers you get
Answer: 2 54
Step-by-step explanation:
Jeremy=x
Older sister=x+5
younger sister=x+5-9 or x-4
x+(x+5)+(x-4)=49
combine like terms
3x+5-4=49
3x+1=49
subtract 1 from both sides
3x=48
divide both sides by 3
x=16
Jeremy=16
Older sister=16+5=21
younger sister =16-4 or 16+5-9=12
J=16
OS=21
YS=12
