If you're factoring, your answer is
(4x - 3)(4x + 5)
You'll work it out this way:
16x^2 + 8x - 15
Since there's no GCF here, you multiply the first and third terms, giving you -240. Your next step is to find two numbers that have a sum of 8 and a product of -240. These numbers are 20 and -12. Plug those in and you've got:
16x^2 + 20x - 12x - 15
From here you divide it into two binomials. These are (16x^2 + 20x) and (-12x - 15).
When you take out the greatest common factors (4x and -3), they become:
4x(4x + 5) - 3(4x + 5)
Then you group what's outside of the parentheses together (4x - 3)
And bring what's inside of the parentheses down (4x + 5).
This brings your answer to
(4x - 3)(4x + 5)
The 2 statements are identical even if one has absolute value
Given :
Peter velocity , P = 30 mph .
Mitchell velocity , M = 40 mph .
Mitchell leaves 15 min later .
To Find :
If they drive along the same route how long will it take Mitchell to catch Peter.
Solution :
Distance covered by Peter in 15 min .

Let , time taken is x .
So , distance covered b them is equal :

Therefore , time taken by them is 45 minutes .
Hence , this is the required solution .
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
One outfit consists of one shirt, one pair of shoes, and one pair of jeans. In this problem, there are five jeans, six shirts, but only two pairs of shoes, which only makes two complete outfits.
First, disregard the sign for absolute value and solve for x.
2x - 1 = 3x + 5
2x - 3x = 5 + 1
-x = 6
x = -6
Now, you have to interpret the absolute value. The absolute value of x is always the positive version of whatever the number is. Since x = -6, its absolute value is 6. Therefore, the possible value for x is only one, which is 6.
