Answer:

Third step is incorrect. The correct factored form is (x-1)(2x-5).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

2x^2-7x+5

We need to find the factored form of this expression.

Step 1: Given

2x^2-7x+5

Step 2: Splitting the middle term method, the middle term can be written as (-5x-2x).

2x^2-5x-2x+5

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

Step 3: Taking out common factors from each parenthesis.

x(2x-5)-1(2x-5)

Step 4: Taking out common factors.

(x-1)(2x-5)

Therefore, the third step is incorrect. The correct factored form is (x-1)(2x-5).

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

N = 920(1+0.03)^4t

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given statement a car repair center services 920 cars in 2012. The number of cars serviced increases quarterly at a rate of 12% per year after 2012.

Rate is 12 % annually

rate in quarterly = 12/4= 3%

We will apply the compound interest equation:

N=P( 1+r/n)^nt

N= ending number of cars serviced.

P=  the number of cars serviced in 2012,

r = interest rate

n = the number of compoundings per year

t= total number of years.

Number of compoundings for t years = n*t = 4t

Initial number of cars serviced=920

The quarterly rate of growth = n=4

r = 3%

The growth rate = 1.03

Compound period multiplied by number of years = 920(1.03)^4t

Thus N = 920(1+0.03)^4t

N = number of cars serviced after t years...

3x - y = 7<br> y = 2x - 2
____ [38]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Subsitute! You have to replace y with 2x - 2 in 3x -y = 7, b/c they already gave you the equation for y (in the second part: y = 2x - 2)

 So, your equation would look like this : 3x - (2x - 2) = 7

3) Solve suing PEMDAS!

There's a negative outside the parenthesis of 2x -2 -> - (2x-2). Multiply the negative individually inside the parenthesis so you will get (-2x + 2)

3x - 2x - 2 = 7    subtract the same variable; x

1x - 2 = 7            you don't need to put 1 to x, only if you want!

    + 2  + 2           add 2 on both sides

x = 9
