You have to multiply them
Answer:
(2x+3)(x - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there is no common number to factor by we must approach this problem differently:
Step 1:
Multiply leading coefficient (2) by the constant term (-3)
2 x -3 = -6
Step two:
Find two numbers that multiply to -6 but add to the middle coefficient (1).
You should find these numbers to be 3 and -2
Step 3:
Replace 1x in the equation with your found numbers
2x^2 - 2x + 3x - 3
Step 4:
Take out the greatest common factor from the first two numbers, and the last two numbers.
For 2x^2 - 2x the greatest common factor would be 2x
For 3x - 3 the greatest common factor would be 3.
Step 5:
Factor out the found common factors
2x(x-1) + 3(x-1)
The values inside the bracket should be the same.
Step 6:
Factor out (x-1)
(x - 1)(2x + 3)
Therefore the factored form is (2x + 3)(x - 1)
M = miles Marcos drove
c = miles Candice drove
m = 2c
m + c = 66
Plug m=2c into the second equation :
m + c = 66
(2c) + c = 66
3c = 66
Choice A
Answer:
1.5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>$8.22h ≥ $623
Let's look at the options and see what works and what doesn't.
$8.22h > $623
* This inequality mostly works and it's true. But there may be a better choice later. So let's hold off on this one.
$8.22h ≤ $623
* That less than or equal has issues. Let's buy the bike if I have less money than what's needed? Nope, not gonna work. Although that equal portion does have an element of truth to it. But this is a bad choice.
$8.22h ≥ $623
* And this third option is better than the first. It simply says that you have to have enough or more money to buy the bike. The 1st equation basically said you have to have more money than the cost of the bike. So this is the correct choice.
$8.22h < $623
* This is worse than the 2nd option. In a nutshell, is says buy the bike when you don't have enough money. So bad choice.</span>
