(2x - 5) (5x - 10)
Use FOIL
10x² - 20x - 25x + 50
10x² - 45x + 50
5( 2x² - 9x + 10)
2x -5
x -2
5(2x - 5)(x -2)
make each equal to 0
2x - 5 = 0
x - 2 = 0
2x - 5 = 0 x - 2 = 0
2x - 5 (+5) = 0 x - 2 (+2) = 0 (+2)
2x = 5 x = 2
x = 5/2
x = 5/2 , 2
hope this helps
Answer: D
Step-by-step explanation: get the variable by itself on one side of the inequality sign.
Answer:
x = -5.25 or 21/4
Step-by-step explanation:
When break the bracket out, if there is a minus sign in front of the bracket, when we break it out, the sign inside the bracket would become positive:
67 = 18 - (8x - 7)
67 = 18 - 8x - (-7)
67 = 18 - 8x + 7
67 = 18 + 7 - 8x
67 = 25 - 8x or rewrite for easier look: 25 - 8x = 67
25 - 8x = 67
8x = 25 - 67
8x = -42
Divide both side by 8, we got:
x = -42 / 8
x = -5.25 or 21/4
