Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x+1) = -2(x-1) - 4
3x + 3 = -2x + 2 - 4
3x + 3 = -2x - 2
Add the -2x to both sides
5x + 3 = -2
Subtract the 3 to both sides
5x = -5
Divide both sides by 5
x = -1

Answer:
B) -125a^11
Step-by-step explanation:
(-5a^2)^3·a^5 = (-5)^3·a^6·a^5
= (-5)^3·a^(2·3)·a^5
= (-5)^3·a^6·a^5
= -125·a^(6+5)
= -125·a^11 . . . . matches choice B

Answer:
2nd option
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
3x³ - 15x² - 4x + 20
step 1 ( group the first/second and third/fourth terms )
(3x³ - 15x² ) + (- 4x + 20)
step 2 ( factor each group )
3x² (x - 5) - 4(x - 5) ← note factor of - 4 ( not + 4 )
step 3 ( factor out (x - 5) from each term )
(x - 5)(3x² - 4)
