Factorising an equation is putting it into bracket form.
This has square numbers and so needs double brackets
(5x - y) (5x+y)
If you then check this by multiplying the brackets out again you will get:
5x^2 - 5xy + 5xy - y^2
The positive and negative 5xy's cancel each other out and you are left with its original form. Your answer is
(<span>5x - y) (5x+y)</span>
I have a feeling its the second one
$275*x%=195
It will be a 29% reduction. But it will not have the exact cost of $195

Answer: Negative</h3>
======================================================
Explanation:
3/7 = 0.42857 approximately
Pick a number between that value and 5, not including either endpoint. Let's say we pick x = 2
Plug x = 2 into the f(x) function
f(x) = (x - 5)(2x + 7)(7x-3)
f(2) = (2 - 5)(2*2 + 7)(7*2-3)
f(2) = (2 - 5)(4 + 7)(14-3)
f(2) = (-3)(11)(11)
f(2) = -363
The actual result doesn't matter. All we're after is whether the result is positive or negative. We see the result is negative. This means f(x) is negative when 3/7 < x < 5. The f(x) curve is below the x axis on this interval.
