Answer:

(4b + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

To get 4b^2 you already have b^2 if you put b inside the second set of brackets. But that would mean you don't have 4 anywhere to get 4b^2.

So the first step has to be

(b + 3)(4b

Now look at the 15 for a moment. It is plus 15. The only way you can get a plus 15 is if both signs are plus (after the b terms) or both terms are minus.

The middle term (17b) is plus so both terms after b are plus.

(b + 3)(4b +

Now we need something that multiplies to 15. 3*5 = 15. So the term you want is 5.

(b + 3)(4b + 5)

Does the middle term work?

5*b + 3*4b = 5b + 12b = 17b

Everything looks fine.

The second factor is 17b.

What is a linear equation in math?

A linear equation only has one or two variables.
No variable in a linear equation is raised to a power greater than 1 or used as the denominator of a fraction.
When you find pairs of values that make a linear equation true and plot those pairs on a coordinate grid, all of the points lie on the same line.

Suppose, time taken by faster maid be x , hours.

So, time taken by slower maid ,

$x_{2} = 4x_{1}$ ( 4 time faster maid )
