factoring with leading coefficient:
for ax2+bx+c find two numbers n,m, that m*n = a*c and m+n = b

3x^2 - 2x - 8
a=3, b=-2, c=-8
</span>a*c = 3*(-8) = -24
-24=(-6)*4 and -6+4=-2, so m=-6 and n=4
replace bx with mx + nx and factor by grouping

It is my unprofessional opinion that the answer will be c.
my reasoning is because Lisa is asking for a percentage from a set amount<span />
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 5 = 2x + 5
3x - 5 + 5 = 2x + 5 + 5
3x = 2x + 10
3x - 2x = 2x - 2x + 10
1x = 10
x = 10
8x5 = 40
3x2 = 6
40 - 6 = 34
answer:
area of shaded = 34
