Answer:
(3n + 4) (n-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Are you asking to factor this 3n^2 - 2n -8 ?
If so the best way to do this problem is with the X method.
top: 3*(-8)
left: factor of 3*-8 right: factor of 3*-8
bottom: -2
try the factors 4 and -6 because 4*-6 = 3 *-8 = -24
Because notice that 4 + -6 = -2
so:
3n^2 -2n - 8 can be rewritten as 3n^2 -6n + 4n - 8
We should first use Distributive property to factor: 3n^2 -6n + 4n - 8
3n^2 -6n + 4n - 8 = 3n (n - 2) + 4(n - 2)
Now we factor by grouping here : (3n + 4) (n-2)
I factored out the group (n-2)
Therefore: (3n + 4) (n-2) = 3n^2 -2n - 8
Answer:
21 lb
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide the amount of Ryan's pumpkin by 2 then multiply it by 3. Ryan's pumpkin weighs 14 lb divided by 2 is 7 then 7 multiplied by 3 is 21.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll go part by part.
"15 is equal to" so simple enough 15= now what is it equal to?
9 more than a number. Well what does that mean? it might help if we try out an actual number. What is 9 more than 3? 12, so another way of writing that is +9. It's not telling us the number we are adding 9 to so it's a variable. So we'll say x + 9.
This leaves us with 15 = x + 9, which you could even solve.
Cant see the picture I can’t
