We need two numbers that when multiplied will give you -40 and when added will give you -3:
(x+5) (x-8) this is your answer. And you want to know the process Here it goes. And attached is a chart I made you so you can visually see what this process is telling you:
1) identify a,b, and c in the trinomial ax^2 + bx+c (in your case it's 1x^2-3x-40= x^2-3x-40)
2) write down all factor pairs of c (numbers that multiplied produce -40)
3) identify which factor pair from the previous step sums up to b
4) Substitute factor pairs into two binomials
The correct answer is 10x - 4. Hope this helps!!
Answer:
(x + 3)(2x + 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2x² + 6x + 5x + 15 ← grouping the terms
= (2x² + 6x) + (5x + 15) ← factor each group
= 2x(x + 3) + 5(x + 3) ← factor out (x + 3) from each term
= (x + 3)(2x + 5) ← in factored form
The answer that I got was y=105
Hope this helps!
