2x^2 - 3x = 2x - 2
2x^2 -5x + 2


Factoring:
1. find the two numbers that multiply to equal ac (2 • 2) and add to equal b (-5)
The numbers = -4, -1

2. Extend the b term into these two numbers.
2x^2 -4x - x + 2

3. Group the first two terms and the last two terms to each other.
(2x^2 - 4x)(-x + 2)

4. Take out the GCF's in the parentheses sections. Note: the terms inside both of the parentheses should be equal, or you have done something wrong.
2x(x - 2) - 1(x - 2)

5. Group the GCF's together alongside the equivalent parentheses sections.
(2x - 1)(x - 2)


You're done here, but IF you want to find the solutions, you have to set each of the new parentheses sections to zero and solve for x.
2x - 1 = 0 >> 2x = 1 >> x = 1/2
x - 2= 0 >> x = 2


In conclusion, your solutions are x = 1/2 and x = 2, and your factored equation is (2x - 1)(x - 2)


Hope this helps!!

Answer:

10x^2-11x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

To expand, we use the FOIL method. You do this by multiplying each number inside the parenthesis by the other numbers in the other set of the parenthesis. For example, on this problem, you would multiply 5x by 2x, and then 5x by -3.

Step by step, you would:

5x * 2x = 10x^2

5x * -3 = -15x

2 * 2x = 4x

2 * -3 = -6

In an equation, it would expand to 10x^2-15x+4x-6

To simplify, you add like terms (constants and those with the same variable). In this case, you would add together all the terms ending in x.

-15x+4x=-11x

Now, you have added like terms together, so your simplified answer is 10x^2-11x-6.

A family goes out to eat. The meal costs $44. The sales tax rate is 9%. They leave a 20% tip. How much did they spend?
REY [17]

Answer:

$56.76
