First, find the number of guitarists. 5/8*64=40.

Now, create an equation. x + 4x = 40
5x = 40
x= 8

There are 8 jazz solos and 32 classical solos.

Express as a trinomial: (2x-3)(x 5)
Illusion [34]
I am assuming the expression is (2x-3)(x+5) or (2x-3)(x-5). I will teach you how to solve for both as I am not sure which one you are asking for. There are 4 steps to multiplying.

1) Multiply the x times the second x
2) Multiply x times the second number
3) Multiply the number by the second x
4) Multiply the number by the second number.

(2x*x)+(2x*5)+(-3*x)+(-3*5)=(2x^{2})+(10x)+(-3x)+(-15)=2x^{2}+7x-15

(2x*x)+(2x*-5)+(-3*x)+(-3*-5)=(2x^{2})+(-10x)+(-3x)+(15)=2x^{2}-13x+15

Your answer is 2x^{2}+7x-15 or 2x^{2}-13x+15. Does that answer your question?
