Answer:

$(x+1)(5x-4)(x-2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that (x+1) is a factor, so we can use synthetic division to factor it out of $5x^3-9x^2-6x+8$ .

Once factored, we get $(x+1)(5x^2-14x+8)$

Now all we need to do is factor $(5x^2-14x+8)$

$(5x^2-14x+8)=(5x-4)(x-2)$

This gives us the answer $(x+1)(5x-4)(x-2)$ .

Solve the equation -3(y-5)=24

ioda

-3(y-5) = 24...distribute through the parenthesis
-3y + 15 = 24....subtract 15 from both sides
-3y = 24 - 15
-3y = 9...divide both sides by -3
y = 9/-3
y = -3
