4p^2 + 4p - 5
As the expression cannot be factored in it's current form, we need to check if splitting the middle term is possible.
<em><u>List factors of -20.</u></em>
-5 * 4
5 * -4
-10 * 2
10 * -2
-20 * 1
20 * -1
<u>None of the factors added together result in positive 4.</u>
Because splitting the middle term is not possible, and we cannot simplify this expression any further:
This expression cannot be fully factored.
41 lb
work: 65 - 24 = 41
you're welcome
Answer:
where is the question????
I'm guessing the repeating part is 89 at the end, so that

An arguably quicker way without using geometric series:




I got (-6.28, -0.76).
Step 1.) Write out the problems
-2x=8-6y
-15x=21-6y
Step 2.) Pick a problem and solve for X
-2x=8-6y = x=-4-3y
Step 3.) Plug in the x
(-15)(-4-3y)= 21-6y
60 + 45y= 21-6y
Step 4.) Solve for y
y=-0.76
Step 5.) Plug in the y value into one of the equations
-2x= 8- 6(-0.76)
-2x= 8 + 4.56
x= -6.28
Step 6.) Check your answers
-2(-6.28)=8-6(-0.76)
12.56=12.56
Step 7.) Write it out
(-6.28,-0.76)
