If you mean "factor over the rational numbers", then this cannot be factored.

Here's why:

The given expression is in the form ax^2+bx+c. We have

a = 3

b = 19

c = 15

Computing the discriminant gives us

d = b^2 - 4ac

d = 19^2 - 4*3*15

d = 181

Note how this discriminant d value is not a perfect square

This directly leads to the original expression not factorable

We can say that the quadratic is prime

If you were to use the quadratic formula, then you should find that the equation 3x^2+19x+15 = 0 leads to two different roots such that each root is not a rational number. This is another path to show that the original quadratic cannot be factored over the rational numbers.

3v+4(v-2)= -29 solve for v​
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

v = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Expand.

3v + 4v - 8 = -29

2) Simplify 3v + 4v - 8 to 7v - 8.

7v - 8 = -29

3) Add 8 to both sides.

7v = -29 + 8

4) Simplify -29 + 8 to -21.

7v = -21

5) Divide both sides by 7.

v = -21/7

6) Simplify 21/7 to 3.

v = -3

Find the difference (20m+3)-(7m-5)
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Simplifying

(20m + 3) + -1(7m + -5) = 0

Reorder the terms:

(3 + 20m) + -1(7m + -5) = 0

Remove parenthesis around (3 + 20m)

3 + 20m + -1(7m + -5) = 0

Reorder the terms:

3 + 20m + -1(-5 + 7m) = 0

3 + 20m + (-5 * -1 + 7m * -1) = 0

3 + 20m + (5 + -7m) = 0

Reorder the terms:

3 + 5 + 20m + -7m = 0

Combine like terms: 3 + 5 = 8

8 + 20m + -7m = 0

Combine like terms: 20m + -7m = 13m

8 + 13m = 0

Solving

8 + 13m = 0

Solving for variable 'm'.

Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.

8 + -8 + 13m = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0

0 + 13m = 0 + -8

13m = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 0 + -8 = -8

13m = -8

Divide each side by '13'.

m = -0.6153846154

Simplifying

m = -0.6153846154Step-by-step explanation:
