Answer:

B.) 2(5x-4)(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

10x^2+2x-8

= 2(5x^2 + x - 4)

= 2(5x^2 + 5x - 4x - 4)

= 2[5x(x + 1) - 4(x + 1)]

= 2(5x-4)(x+1)

Answer:

B.) 2(5x - 4)(x + 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

10x^2+2x-8

First divide by the common factor 2:

= 2(5x^2 + x - 4)

Now we factor the expression in the parentheses using the 'ac' method.

5 * -4 = -20 so to get the + x in the middle we need 5x - 4x:

= 2 ( 5x^2 + 5x - 4x - 4)

= 2[ 5x(x + 1) - 4(x + 1)]

= 2(5x - 4)(x + 1) (answer).

Answer:

$(x-5)(x+8)=x^2+3x-40$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the expression:

$(x-5)(x+8)$

To multiply, distribute the left to the terms on the right:

$=(x-5)(x)+(x-5)(8)$

Distribute:

$=(x^2-5x)+(8x-40)$

Combine like terms:

$=(x^2)+(-5x+8x)+(-40)$

Simplify:

$=x^2+3x-40$

Therefore:

$(x-5)(x+8)=x^2+3x-40$
