I now how to do this, but I need a clearer picture. lol
Answer:
(ab - 6)(2ab + 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming you require the expression factorised.
2a²b² - 7ab - 30
Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the a²b² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the ab- term
product = 2 × - 30 = - 60 and sum = - 7
The factors are - 12 and + 5
Use these factors to split the ab- term
= 2a²b² - 12ab + 5ab - 30 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
= 2ab(ab - 6) + 5(ab - 6) ← factor out (ab - 6) from each term
= (ab - 6)(2ab + 5) ← in factored form
Y=-2x+200 hope this helps
If James has 12 pairs of basketball shoes, then the ratio would be 3:4 which would stop at 3:12. Then the individual ratios would be 3:4, 6:8, and 9:12
So James has 9 pairs of running shoes
5men because half of them would probably not make it
