Factor the quadratic expression 3xsquared+4x-4

Mathematics
1 answer:
Schach [20]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

(3x − 2) (x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

For a quadratic ax² + bx + c, you can factor using the AC method.

1. First, multiply a and c.

2. Next, find factors of ac that add up to b.

3. Divide the factors by a.  Reduce if possible.

4. The numerator of the fraction becomes the constant.  The denominator of the fraction becomes the coefficient.

3x² + 4x − 4

In this case, a = 3, b = 4, and c = -4.

1. 3 × -4 = -12

2. Factors of -12 that add up to 4 are -2 and +6

3. Divide by 3 and reduce: -2/3, 6/3 = 2/1

4. The factors are 3x − 2 and x + 2

3x² + 4x − 4 = (3x − 2) (x + 2)

<span>So we need to find the fraction of many times does purple show up in 20 trays in which every tray has 5 colors. To find the answer we need to find the overall number of all colors and that is 20 trays * 5 colors and that equals to 100 colors. So purple shows 20 times and 20/100 is 1/5 when we simplify the fraction. </span>

Someone plz help :( and show work please
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

x = <em>5</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 6 to both sides.

5x - 6 + 6 = 2x + 9 + 6

Simplify

5x = 2x + 15

Subtract 2x from both sides.

5x - 2x = 2x + 15 - 2x

Simplify

3x = 15

Divide both sides by 3.

3x/3 = 15/3

Simplify.

x = <em>5.</em>

<em>----------------------</em>

Hope this helped!! Goodluck with your schoolwork.
