Answer:
B. (x + 3) (x + 27)
Step-by-step explanation:
<em><u>To factor the expression, you must split the middle term (18x) into two terms that can be added to get 18, and multiplied to get 81:</u></em>
<em><u /></em>
<em><u>Group:</u></em>
<em><u /></em>
<em><u>Take out GCF (Greates Common Factor):</u></em>
x(x + 3) 27(x + 3)
(x + 27) (x + 3)
Answer: c
Step-by-step explanation:
Your answer is c. If you are struggling divide to backtrack and that should help you get to the answer.
(-5/3)•(-6/1)=(30/3)
(30/3) simplified is (10/1)
We know that Step 1 is correct, because it is just a restatement of the equation. Therefore, we can eliminate Step 1:
2(5y – 2) = 12 + 6y
In Step 2, the student tried using the Distributive Property. The Distributive Property can be written as one of the two following formulas:
a(b + c) = ab + ac
a(b – c) = ab – ac
In this case, we'll use the second formula. Substitute any known values into the equation above and simplify:
2(5y – 2) = 2(5y) – 2(2)
2(5y – 2) = 10y – 4
In Step 2, the student calculated 2(5y – 2) to equal 7y – 4. However, we have just proven that 2(5y – 2) is equal to 10y – 4.
The student first made an error in Step 2, and the correct step is:
Step 2: 10y – 4 = 12 + 6y
I hope this helps!
