Answer:
its the second one
Step-by-step explanation:
8-4x-7=5x+30-2
combine like terms
1-4x=5x+28
-27=9x
divide both sides by nine
-3=x
Answer:
-72
Step-by-step explanation:
9*(-2)³ = 9*(-8) = -72
Answer:
The factors are (5x + 3) and (2x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
When you need to factor a quadratic, and the coefficient of the x² is not 1, use the slide and divide method.
The general form of a quadratic is ax² + bx + c
Factor: 10x² + 11x + 3
Here a = 10, b = 11, and c = 3
Step 1: Multiply ac, we SLIDE a over to c. Notice the 10 is gone for now..
x² + 11x + 30
Step 2: Factor this (this step will always factor)
x² + 11x + 30 = (x + 5)(x + 6)
So the factors are (x + 5)(x + 6), but we now need to DIVIDE by a, since we multiplied it into c before. We divide the constants in the factors...
(x + 5/10 )(x + 6/10 )
Now reduce the fractions as much as possible...
(x + 1/2 )(x + 3/5)
*If they don't reduce to a whole number, SLIDE the denominator over as a coefficient of x....
(2x + 1)(5x + 3) *2 slide over in front of x, 5 slide over in front of x, the fractions are gone!
These are our factors!
