Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 1 = 5x
Bringing like terms on one side
1 = 5x - 3x
1 = 2x
1/2 = x
Ends up=( K+5)1/2 -2
ends up=K/2+2.5-2=K(.5) + .5

The answer is: <u>2(k2−4k)(2c+5)</u>

Step:
* Consider 2ck2+5k2−8ck−20k. Do the grouping 2ck2+5k2−8ck−20k=(2ck2+5k2) +(−8ck−20k), and factor out k2 in the first and −4k in the second group.
* Factor out the common term 2c+5 by using the distributive property.
* Rewrite the complete factored expression.
