12x³ - 20x² + 3x - 5
4x²(3x) - 4x²(5) + 1(3x) - 1(5)
4x²(3x - 5) + 1(3x - 5)
(4x² + 1)(3x - 5)

First, group them in 2's (2 numbers per group)
and see which ones have the factors of each other

you want to group 12x^3 with 3x because 3 is a factor of 12
then you want to group -20x^2 and -5 together becuase 5 is a factor of 20 so
(12x^3+3x)+(-20x^2-5)
undistribute
(3x)(4x^2+1)+(-5)(4x^2+1)
revese distribute (ab+ac=a(b+c))
(3x-5)(4x^2+1)

"The sum of a number and nineteen has the same value as one less than the product of that number and five"

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation:

x + 19 = 5x - 1

Add 1 to both sides:

x + 20 = 5x

Subtract x from both sides:

20 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 5

A rectangle has vertices at these coordinates

Olegator [25]

The fourth coordinate point would be at (1, 1). If you look at the graph, it's easy to see which point is missing. You can also tell by looking for the x and y values that don't repeat, since this is a rectangle. -6 is an x-value for two coordinate points, but 1 is an x-value for only one. 10 repeats as a y-value in two coordinate points, but 1 only appears once.
