Answer:
2 (x-4) (x-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^2-12x+16
Factor out a 2
2( x^2 -6x +8)
Now we factor the inside term
What multiplies to 8 and add to -6
-4*-2 =8
-4+-2 = -6
(x- 5)(x - 3)
x(x - 3) -5(x - 3)
x^2 - 3x - 5x + 15
x^2 - 8x + 15
y-12-3y+3
add 12 to both sides
y -3y+15
add 3y to both sides
4y15
divide both sides by 4
y3.75 (or 3 and 3/4)
hope this helps!
