Answer:
2 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
6/4+3/4= 9/4= 2 1/4
Answer:
8 [ (x-3) (2x+1) ]
Step-by-step explanation:
Factoring 2x2 - 5x - 3
The first term is, 2x2 its coefficient is 2 .
The middle term is, -5x its coefficient is -5 .
The last term, "the constant", is -3
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 2 • -3 = -6
Step-2 : Find two factors of -6 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -5 .
-6 + 1 = -5 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -6 and 1
2x2 - 6x + 1x - 3
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
2x • (x-3)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (x-3)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(2x+1) • (x-3)
Which is the desired factorization
the correct answer is A) 10x + 30
YOU JUST BROUGHT BACK A OLD MEMORY!!
