SIMPLE Factoring by Grouping

Mathematics
1 answer:
brilliants [131]3 years ago

Group together the terms that have "like" variables or constants in them. The first 2 terms both have an x, but the second 2 don't, so the first two are grouped together. The second 2 terms, while they do not have a common variable, both have the number 2. So those are grouped together.
(xa - xb) - (2a + 2b)--> x(a-b) - 2(a-b). Now you can actually factor out the like term (a-b) to get this: (a-b)(x-2).

Jet001 [13]
To determine the ratio of the lengths of the red and blue ribbon, we just have to divide the lengths of the corresponding colored ribbon. 
                                red / blue = 3/4 / 2/3 = 9/8
(2) The ratio of the lengths expressed as a unit rate is 9/8:1
(3) The ratio of the lengths of the blue to red ribbon is the reciprocal of the calculated value above giving us the answer of 8/9.
