I think you're factoring this...? You can do that by grouping here.  Put the 4 terms in groups of 2 and factor out the greatest common factor. What's left behind is a common binomial factor that can also then be factored out. Like this:
(10 n^{3} -25 n^{2})-(16n+40)
Factoring what we can out of both sets gives us this:
5 n^{2} (2n-5)-8(2n-5)
The 2n-5 is a common factor between both the sets of terms, which in turn can also be factored out:
(2n-5)(5 n^{2}-8)
I'm not exactly sure what you are doing with this, but we can keep factoring for the sake of completeness.  The 5 n-squared term can also be factored:
5 n^{2}-8=0 and 5 n^{2} =8 and n^{2} = \frac{8}{5} so n= \frac{ \sqrt{8} }{ \sqrt{5} }.  Simplifying that down its simplest is this:
n=+/- \frac{2 \sqrt{10} }{5}
So your three factors for that polynomial are
(n- \frac{5}{2} ),(n- \frac{2 \sqrt{10} }{5} ),(n+ \frac{2 \sqrt{10} }{5} ),

A=2x+6xz <br> a=2x+6xz<br> for x
Dennis_Churaev [7]
So I guess we are solving for x here :)
So here is my work...
a=2x+6xz
Basically I think it would be
a=6xz+2x

WAIT WAIT NO I'M WRONG FORGIVE ME!

It's  x=a/2(1+3z)

in a first aid kit the ratio of large bandages to small bandages is 5 to 2. Based on this ratio, how many large bandages are in
Radda [10]
The best way to answer this question is to set up the first sentence as a ratio of large bandages to total bandages. You would write 5 large bandages to 7 total bandages to 7 total bandages.  Then you would make this equivalent to x number of large bandages to 60 total.  It would look like this 5:7 = x:60.  You could use cross products to multiply 60 by 5 to get 300.  7 times x also should equal 300.  Unfortunately, this example will not leave us with a whole number of bandages, but 300/7 is a repeating decimal or a mixed number (42 6/7 large bandages).
