If Quincy finds 120 shells in 4 days, we can use the equation 4x = 120 to find how many shells she found each day.
4x = 120
If we divide both sides by four we get x = 30
So Quincy found 30 shells each day.

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 4y2-12y+9
The first term is, 4y2 its coefficient is 4 .
The middle term is, -12y its coefficient is -12 .
The last term, "the constant", is +9
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 4 • 9 = 36
Step-2 : Find two factors of 36 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -12 .
-36 + -1 = -37
-18 + -2 = -20
-12 + -3 = -15
-9 + -4 = -13
-6 + -6 = -12 That's it
