<h3><u>4(2x^2 + 3x + 12)</u></h3>
We can factor a 4 out of this expression.
4(2x^2 + 3x + 12)
Now that the expression is simplified, we can see if splitting the middle term is possible.
<em><u>Display factors of 24.</u></em>
1 * 24
-1 * - 24
2 * 12
-2 * -12
3 * 8
-3 * - 8
4 * 6
-4 * -6
All factors of 24 have been listed, and none of these digits satisfy the criteria.
Trinomial cannot be further factored.
5x - 2x = 63 + 57
3x = 120
x = 40
Usually when you do expressions involving subtraction you can do Keep, Change ,Change
That means you keep the sign of the first number and change the other two signs.
It is best you rewrite the expression to addition because a lot of people don't do well with subtracting .
Because AC is a diameter we can find the 180/3 = x
giving us the x= 60
Then that arc AB = 120
