Answer:

a = 4 and b = - 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the left side and compare like terms on both sides, that is

(x + 2)(x - 3)(x + 5) ← expand the first pair of factors using FOIL

= (x² - x - 6)(x + 5) ← distribute

= x³ + 5x² - x² - 5x - 6x - 30 ← collect like terms

= x³ + 4x² - 11x - 30

Compare like terms with x³ +ax² - 11x + b

4x² and ax² ⇒ a = 4

+ b and - 30 ⇒ b = - 30

wolverine [178]
In order to solve this we can first convert 3h 28m to 208 minutes.
This will make it so we can find how many minutes it took her to run per mile.
The way we do that is by dividing 208 by 26. This leaves us with 8 minutes per mile.

Hope this helped at least a bit!

She had 18 to start with because when you multiply 4 by 2 it’s 8, so then you add 8 to 10 which is 18.
