Answer:

Will's share = 48

Olly's share = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Will's share : Olly's share = 3:2

Will's share = 3x

Olly's share = 2x

3x + 2x = £ 80 {Combine like terms}

5x = 80 {Divide both sides by 5}

x = 80/5

x = 16

Will's share = 3x = 3*16 = 48

Olly's share = 2x = 2*16 = 32

How do you factor 5x^2b^2 + 14xb^2 -3b^2

Monica [59]

Answer:

$5b^2(x-0.2)(x+3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing that I noticed was that all of the terms had a common factor of $b^2$ . You can therefore factor that out first:

$5x^2b^2 + 14xb^2 -3b^2= \\\\b^2(5x^2+14x-3)$

Now, you have a quadratic equation inside the parentheses. Factoring, you find that the roots are -0.2 and 3, meaning that you can further factor this expression to be:

$5b^2(x-0.2)(x+3)$

Hope this helps!
