Question

8x^2+5=22x Need help learning factoring please put work so I can understand

Answer 1

Answer: (2x - 5) • (4x - 1)

STEP 1 : Equation at the end of step 1

(23x2 - 22x) + 5

STEP 2 : Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1 Factoring 8x2-22x+5

The first term is, 8x2 its coefficient is 8 .

The middle term is, -22x its coefficient is -22 .

The last term, "the constant", is +5

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 8 • 5 = 40

Step-2 : Find two factors of 40 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -22 .

-40 + -1 = -41

-20 + -2 = -22 That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -20 and -2

8x2 - 20x - 2x - 5

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

4x • (2x-5)

Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

1 • (2x-5)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

(4x-1) • (2x-5)

Which is the desired factorization

Final result : (2x - 5) • (4x - 1)
