Answer:
(x+1)(2x+5)
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 2x² + 7x + 5
Factor the expression by grouping. First, the expression needs to be rewritten as 2x²+ax+bx+5. To find a and b, set up a system to be solved.
a+b=7
ab=2×5=10
Since ab is positive, a and b have the same sign. Since a+b is positive, a and b are both positive. List all such integer pairs that give product 10.
1,10
2,5
Calculate the sum for each pair.
1+10=11
2+5=7
The solution is the pair that gives sum 7.
a=2
b=5
2x²+7x+5 as (2x²+2x)+(5x+5).
(2x²+2x)+(5x+5)
Factor out 2x in the first and 5 in the second group.
2x(x+1)+5(x+1)
Factor out common term x+1 by using distributive property.
(x+1)(2x+5)
Answer:
A: x = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Simplifying
6n + 7 + -2n + -14 = 5n + 1
Reorder the terms:
7 + -14 + 6n + -2n = 5n + 1
Combine like terms: 7 + -14 = -7
-7 + 6n + -2n = 5n + 1
Combine like terms: 6n + -2n = 4n
-7 + 4n = 5n + 1
Reorder the terms:
-7 + 4n = 1 + 5n
Solving
-7 + 4n = 1 + 5n
Solving for variable 'n'.
Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-5n' to each side of the equation.
-7 + 4n + -5n = 1 + 5n + -5n
Combine like terms: 4n + -5n = -1n
-7 + -1n = 1 + 5n + -5n
Combine like terms: 5n + -5n = 0
-7 + -1n = 1 + 0
-7 + -1n = 1
Add '7' to each side of the equation.
-7 + 7 + -1n = 1 + 7
Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0
0 + -1n = 1 + 7
-1n = 1 + 7
Combine like terms: 1 + 7 = 8
-1n = 8
Divide each side by '-1'.
n = -8
Simplifying
n = -8
