1/6p - 4/5
Explanation: -2/3p needs to have the same denominator as 5/6p so they can combine. (Note, whatever sign is in front of a number determines if it is negative or positive. Your equation indicates that the bolded parts are negative and the other parts are positive: -2/3p + 1/5 - 1 + 5/6p. So what we are really doing in an equation like this is combining some numbers together)
-2/3p and 5/6p and the least common multiple of six, so we adjust the numbers to each have a denominator of 6. 5/6p is already there, so we need to adjust -2/3p.
We can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2 to turn -2/3p into -4/6p. -4/6p has the same value as -2/3p, and now it also has the same denominator as 5/6p!
We then have to combine like terms, therefore combining -4/6p with 5/6p. When adding together fractions, the denominator does not change (this is why both numbers must have the same denominators). So our answer will be _/6p. So we combine -4 with 5, giving us one.
Therefore, -2/3p combined with 5/6p is 1/6p.
Now we have to combine our other set of like terms, 1/5 and -1. We can do this the same way that we combined the other numbers.
1/5 and -1 need the same denominator. This is simple because 1 can easily be figured out with any denominator, as long as the numerator and denominator are the same. This would make 1 = 5/5. But we need it negative, so it would be -5/5.
Now that we have common denominators, we can combine!
1/5 - 5/5
Remember what we said before, the solution will have the same denominator, so all we need to do is (in this case) subtract the numerators.
1 - 5 = 4
So that would be -4/5.
With the like terms combined, we just need to put our two combinations (1/6p and -4/5) together!
Our answer: 1/6p - 4/5

Answer:
The factored expression is 2(x² + 5)(x + 3).
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!
We can use a factoring technique referred to as "grouping" to solve this problem.
Grouping is used for polynomials with four terms as a quick and easy factoring method to remove the GCF and get down to the initial terms that create the expression/function.
Grouping works in the following matter:
- Given equation: ax³ + bx² + cx + d
- Group a & b, c & d: (ax³ + bx²) + (cx + d)
- Pull GCFs and factors
Let's apply these steps to the given equation.
- Given equation: 2x³ + 6x² + 10x + 30
- Group a & b, c & d: (2x³ + 6x²) + (10x + 30)
- Pull GCFs and factors: 2x²(x + 3) + 10(x + 3)
As you'll see, we have a common term with both sides of the expression. This term, (x + 3), is a valuable asset to the factoring process. This is one of the factors for our expression.
Now, we use our GCFs to create another factor.
- List GCFs: 2x², 10
- Create a term: (2x² + 10)
Finally, we'll need to simplify this one by taking another GCF, 2.
- Pull GCF: 2(x² + 5)
Now that we have this term, we need to understand that this <em>could</em> also be factored further using imaginary numbers, but it is also acceptable to leave it in this form.
Therefore, we have our final factors: 2(x² + 5) and (x + 3).
However, when we factor, we place all of our terms together. This leaves us with the final answer: 2(x² + 5)(x + 3).
To find the area of a parallelogram, you use the area formula:
Area = Base * Height
Then, all you have to do is substitute in your known integers and solve. Therefore:
Area = 15 * 21 2/3
When we multiply these two numbers, we get
Area = 325 square yards or yards
