Answer:
(2x - 3) • (x + 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
Equation at step 1 :
(2x2 + 5x) - 12
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 2x2+5x-12
The first term is, 2x2 its coefficient is 2 .
The middle term is, +5x its coefficient is 5 .
The last term, "the constant", is -12
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 2 • -12 = -24
Step-2 : Find two factors of -24 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 5 .
-24 + 1 = -23
-12 + 2 = -10
-8 + 3 = -5
-6 + 4 = -2
-4 + 6 = 2
-3 + 8 = 5
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -3 and 8
2x2 - 3x + 8x - 12
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (2x-3)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
4 • (2x-3)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+4) • (2x-3)
Which is the desired factorization
Answer:
2 Beetle juices and 3 Potion Punch
Step-by-step explanation:
j = Beetle Juice cost $2.50
p = Potion Punch Cost $3
j + p = 5 <em>Multiply by -3</em> -3j - 3p = -15
$2.50j + $3p = $14 <em>Do not change </em>+ <em> </em><u><em> </em></u><u>2.50j -3p = 14 </u>
- .50j = -1
j = 2 Beetle Juice
Substitute into the fist equation and solve for y j + p = 5
2 + p = 5
p = 3 Potion Punch
Take the amount of rows in the auditorium, 15, and multiply that by the number of new seats in each row, 3. You get 45. Now multiply the number of new seats, 45, by the cost of each seat, $74. You get $3,330.
