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
The other number is -3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; First we develop formulae for the given information. A number is added with 3 and the resulting sum is multiplied by 4. This number is then divided by 2 and the quotient is 0. Assume the unknown number is x, then the given information is as follows
The quotient of is 0. So
= 0.
Step 2; Now we solve the above equation. The denominator is taken to the RHS and the RHS remains zero.
= 0, 4(x+3)= 0, 4x+ 12 = 0, 4x = -12, x =
= -3.
So the other number is -3.
