Answer:

4(-5a + 3b - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Aside from changing the order of the terms so that the "a" term comes first and the "b" term second, there's nothing you can do with this expression -20a -8 + 12b.  But notice that 4 is a factor common to all three terms, and therefore it can be factored out:

Rearranging the terms, we get

-20a + 12b - 8  =  4(-5a + 3b - 2)

_____________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________________

Given:  (x – 3)² = 0 ;  write as: general form:  "ax² + bx + c = 0";  a ≠ 0 .
<span>
Note:  </span>(x – 3)² = (x – 3)(x – 3) = x² – 3x – 3x + 9 = x² – 6x + 9 ;
___________________________________________________
Rewrite: (x – 3)²  =  0 ;  →
           as:   x² – 6x + 9 = 0  ; which is our answer.
____________________________________________
→   x² – 6x + 9 = 0  ; is in "general form", or "standard equation format"; that is: " ax² + bx + c = 0 ";  (a ≠ 0) ;
             → in which: 
   a =  1 (implied coefficient, since anything multiplied by "1" is that same                                                                                                                    value);
   b = -6; 
   c =  9

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

No of total brown = 2 + 1 = 3 .

probability = 3 / 6

= 1 /2 .

no of males = 2

probability

= 2 / 6

= 1 /3

no of person who is both male and brown = 1

probability = 1 /6

Required probability

= probability of being brown + probability of being male - probability of being both

= 1 / 2 + 1 / 3 - 1 /6

= 4 / 6

= 2 / 3 .
