Sophie has factored the term completely while Carlos has not factored the term completely.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to factor the trinomial:

-4x^2-10x + 6

Factoring:

-4x^2-10x + 6\\Taking\,\,-2\,\,common:\\-2(2x^2+5x-3)\\Now\,\,factoring:\\-2(2x^2+6x-x-3)\\-2(2x(x+3)-1(x+3))\\-2(2x-1)(x+3)

So, the factored form of -4x^2-10x + 6 is -2(2x-1)(x+3)

So, Sophie has factored the term completely. The terms are factored when we cannot further simplify it. Since Carlos factored (x+3)(-4x+2) 2 can be taken common from the term (-4x+2) so, it is not factored completely.

Use a calculator to find an approximate solution to the equation. Round any intermediate work and steps to three decimal places.
Mariana [72]
Given;
6Ln (x + 2.8) = 9.6 

We will transpose 6 in the Ln, so that we will leave Ln alone.
Ln (x + 2.8) = 9.6/6 = 1.6 

we divide the 9.6 to 6 and we get 1.6

x + 2.8 = e^1.6 
e^ for the substitution of Ln

x = e^1.6 - 2.8 
insert the e^(1.6) in the calculator and you will get 4.95303242439511 and subtract 2.8 and you will get the answer.

x = 2.153 
2.153 is the final answer in this question.

(4x-5)+2(3x+1)<br> Can you help me solve this plz for me
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

10x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute 2 to all terms within the second parenthesis:

2(3x + 1) = (2 * 3x) + (2 * 1) = 6x + 2

4x - 5 + 6x + 2

Combine like terms (terms with the same amount of variables).

4x + 6x + 2 - 5

(4x + 6x) + (2 - 5)

10x + (-3)

10x - 3

10x - 3 is your answer.
