Multiply the top together and then the bottom together and the final numbers on top and bottom is your answer.
First you can factor out a -2 from the original expression
-2(4x²-27x-70)
Then, use any method you're familiar with to factor (4x²-27x-70)= (x+2)(4x-35) ***
***I used the "AC method" Let me know if you'd like me to explain this part
So the expression -2(x+2)(4x-35) is the same as the original
2.5 in USA ton, metric ton is 2.267962
Step-by-step explanation:
4(x - 1) - ( 2x - 5) = 4
4x - 4 - 2x + 5 = 4
2x + 1 = 4
2x = 4 - 1
2x = 3
x = 3/2
