Option A
is one way to determine the factors of
by grouping
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Factoring by grouping means that you will group terms with common factors before factoring
<em><u>Given expression is:</u></em>

Group the first two terms together and then the last two terms together.

We can see that
is common in first two terms
And 3 is common in last two terms
Factor them out


Thus option A is correct
If we expand bx to jx and kx we have:
5y^2-2y-7
5y^2-7y+5y-7 then factor...
y(5y-7)+1(5y-7)
(y+1)(5y-7)
So the other factor is:
(y+1)
1.50 pounds.
