Answer:
![3 (a-2) (a-5)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3%20%28a-2%29%20%28a-5%29)
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to find the GCF. Here, it's 3.
![3(a^2-7a+10)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3%28a%5E2-7a%2B10%29)
Then, you factor the polynomial in the parenthesis.
To find the factors, you will need to find 2 numbers that add to -7, and multiply to 10. -2 and -5 add to -7 and multiply to 10. Now, replace -7a with the factors.
![a^2-2a-5a+10](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a%5E2-2a-5a%2B10)
This of this polynomial as 2 problems.
![-5a+10](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-5a%2B10)
Then, factor again.
![-5a+10](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-5a%2B10)
![-5(a-5)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-5%28a-5%29)
Then, you keep the factors in parenthesis, and combine the numbers on the outside.
![(a-2)(a-5)(a-5)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28a-2%29%28a-5%29%28a-5%29)
Since, there are 2 of the same factor, you only need one.
![(a-2)(a-5)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28a-2%29%28a-5%29)
BUT REMEMBER!! In the very beginning, we had a 3 that we took out, we STILL need to add that to the final answer. The <u>final answer</u> is:
![3 (a-2) (a-5)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3%20%28a-2%29%20%28a-5%29)
3 + 4 = 7
84 ÷ 7 = 12 = 1 (in terms of the ratio)
12 × 3 = 36, which is the answer
Hope this helps :)
1st you add up all the marbles so we got 15 so the answe will be out of 15 then next we add up nhe number of yellow and purple marbles 5+3= 8 so the answe will be 8/15
